Hi, I've owned a rock flower anemone for 4 hours. I think it's suicidal. I drip acclimated her. I placed her on the base of my single rock (volcano). In less than 5 minutes, I found her attached to my MP10. She ran to the top and somehow got sucked up against the MP10. I got her off the ledge and tried again. Ran to the top and sucked up against the MP10. This time I had trouble detaching her and she fell down doing a face plant. I watched her for 15 minutes. She was obviously still alive (attached base to the glass) but had her face smooshed into the rock (kind of wedged in between both). I had to go. I'm worried she will be dead when I get home.

I thought rock flowers typically stay where you place them?
 
Shut your MP10 off for a bit and let it get settled in.
