BTA upside down in isolation box

[PotatoPig]

A few weeks back my BTA split, and one half has been roaming the tank and keeps going near corals that either it will kill or might kill it.

So while it was roaming the sand yesterday I (very gently) picked it up and put it in an acclimation box.

It doesn’t seem particularly happy… this morning it’s upside down with its foot facing the surface of the water.

I’m assuming this is bad?

Any suggestions on managing this marauder?

Another tank? I sell mine to the LFS for credit. Need to get a few out of my tank now actually. Part of the joys of owning a BTA. Some split occasionally, some split profusely. They move. Usually they do seem to end up in a fair location if you have a few available away from corals as they don't like to be irritated either. Perhaps adding a small rock in a good flow area?

Thank you.

I only have a 10g QT tank at the moment, with a white light so probably not suitable for a nem.

This one has just been very dissatisfied with every part of the tank it’s been to and keeps trying to either kill the local SPS or wander into a minefield of LPS that’ll hit back.

It’s normal for them to that, when searching for a good place they will sometimes let go and ride the current to a new plce

Anemones can be a pain in a mixed reefs even when they settle they could be there for months and one morning they will move again
The above info is very good sell it .
Really anemones should have there own tank in my opinion no hassle
