    hi, ive just bought a sand anemone and it dosent seem to be anchoring itself anywhere in the tank. it is just kindof floating around the bottom. is there anyway i can secure it to a spot or will it eventually settle itself?

    How long has he been in the tank?

    What are the tank's parameters?

    Have you tried target feeding it? What was your result?

    It could be any number of things most likely he hasn't found a spot he likes yet.
