Default Purple Tipped Anenome

We got a purple tipped anenome yesterday and he moved himself backwards into the tank until he was jammed in between the live rock. We moved him back to the center of the tank and overnight he crammed himself backwards again.

What can we do to make him happy? Should we just leave him alone and let him pick where he wants to live? Right now he is wedged in between 2 rocks and I am really tempted to move him...

His "little fingers" were moving a lot yesterday and not much today.

Can you guys help me make him happy????

my florida condi anemone did the same thing for like a week but then he found a spot. i would move him if he moved into a not so good spot (like right under the filter), but let him do his thing he will find a good spot eventually..

Thanks. He drug a plant with him and when hubby went to get he plant he seemed to be holding onto it pretty tight. He seems to be in a safe place so we will leave him be.

The condy anemone is an agressive one. Clowns won't host in him. The fiancee bought one and brought it home. I made her take it back. FYI

Let them move where they want.

They are trying to find a suitable spot to open up.

Lighting, water flow, a place to latch onto etc...

I have 2, they will move where their happy, once they lodge themselves I don't know of a way to get them off.
I wanted a piece of rock one was on once for another tank, I gave up,

Watch your coral too, they have a potent sting.

I have one & I have seen them host clowns before.
They seem to be easy to move by tickeling thier foot for a few seconds until they let go but they stick to your fingers so you have to be careful not to damage them.
