I got this BTA yesterday and overnight it has slowly moved itself into a crevice in the rocks and this morning is closed up. Should I be worried ? It was fully open until about 12:00 last night when I went to bed
can they kill the selfes by squeezing into spaces like this ?
2 pics from today and two from when I first put it in the tank yesterday it did open up more later on but I don’t have pics

That’s pretty normal for a new anemone adjusting to your tank.Leave it be don’t change anything and relax.
Is it likely to come out and be on display ?
 
You never really know they go to the best spot for them not for us. If it goes to the back change your flow and hopefully it would move but I wouldn’t do that until it’s used to your tank at least a couple months.
 
That pretty normal behavior, they will fine a spot they like and come out for light. I have three and all moved behind rocks. One will expand over the rock when lights are in , one stays behind rock and can only see from side view and one move to other side between rock in rear of tank and opens up and visible from front.
I just let them do whatever suits them . They also like the high flow as the back has the most flow.
