you should never try to glue or fasten a nem down, they will move on their own no matter what until they find a spot they like, how long have you had it and how long has it been moving?
is this your first nem?
edit: depending on your tank size some people keep anenome boxes to try to keep them from killing coral, but I'd reccomend leaving it be for its own health and overall well being
 
Please don't glue your anemone down, they move to a spot they prefer best, often to the detriment of corals in their path, which is just part of the deal when you keep anemone 🙂
 
Anemones will move where they want to be, your best bet would be to let it settle where it wants, then place your corals away from it. Once they find a happy spot and don't move for a couple of weeks they will usually stick to it. If it settles in an area that you don't want it to, point a powerhead or wave maker towards it as the extra flow will encourage it to move.
