We can't help you without any specific info.

Sounds like acclimation behavior and differences between lfs holding tank and a home reef tank but as said, we need more info.
 
Tank parameters would be a great start along with tank/lighting info.

That is a really bleached bta.

What lighting was it kept under in the lfs and what lighting do you have?

Also be careful with the clownfish possibly smothering the nem, stressing it.
 
What % do you run the light at and what are nitrate, phosphate, and alkalinity levels
