Sick purple tip Anemone

I purchased a purple tip anemone 9 days ago. It is open. Boot is orange. The problem is that it is lying on its side. It is not attaching yo anything. It has rolled to a shady corner of the tank. What should I do? Should I use a normal plant grow light on it while it try’s to heal in this shaded corner?

thanks in advance
Welcome!

Glad you joined. Already good questions on this thread, and I'm hopeful it all works out positively. Healthy anemone in 9 days might feed 2x (1x weekly) so just take it slow. Since you say others are there and healthy, it just might need to acclimate. There is also no way to know what happened to your anemone and what it was going thru before finally reaching its new home with you. Fingers crossed.
