If he is not latching on to any thing, his foot is probably damaged.

Although I do not personally own a Seabae anemone I can tell you some things that I have noticed my anemones have in common
1.) They do not like too high flow to where they aren't able to open up fully

2.) Make sure that they have enough flow so they can properly feed and live

3.) Anemones require stability, make sure to keep water params in check

4.) No matter how much you plan the spot that you want them to go they will almost always move, so make sure to keep a close eye on the neighboring corals and organisms

5.) Watch out for power heads, make sure to keep them out of the reach of the anemones tentacles, anemones love to move when you aren't watching at night so until the anemone is settled in well maybe try a guard on power head like Mark does in this video



Hope this helps! Best of luck! :)

Happy Reefing
