He’s moved up about 3 inches or so from the bottom of the rock which he is currently on. Seems to have gotten bigger but I wonder if the anemone needs more light? He’s been in the tank for 2 weeks now.

I’m running a redsea90 at 33% blues and 5% whites, 8 inches from the surface. Intensity is turned down because my tank is only a foot deep (fluval Evo 13.5)
 
The fixture is sufficient. Is the light new and working correctly?
 
Does the anemone look as if it’s reaching for more light?

It will position itself to what output of light it deems sufficient. And yours is towards the top. But to me, it looks healthy as is.
