I added a rock flower anemone a few days ago. I placed him next to a small rock originally and he’s moved a few inches back buried himself in the sand. Is this normal? I’ve been thinking about moving him to a new location.

I’ve never had a single one stay where I originally placed it. It should move on it’s own, probably multiple times until it finds a spot it likes.

Ok I’ll leave him for now so he can acclimate. I’m planning to at least try moving him to a more visible location soon. I’ve already had a BTA move to possibly the hardest spot in the tank to view.
