There are several threads here about anemones moving. You will probably find that same information everywhere. It is very common. If you change the setup by adding a coral it may move again.

 

Looks like good info to me. The biggest thing when adding a nem is just patience. Like the article said, it will find the spot that best suites it. You can't keep it where you want it. Just give it time and it will settle into a spot.

 

I actually tried a couple of BTAs only to have them constantly moving around my tank. I think the longest one stayed in a spot was about a month. The last one I kept moved under a base rock and died, which in turn I had to pull all the rock work out and do a major water change. So just keep your eye on him. Try to keep him well fed and not to change the flow or lighting on him too rapidly. They can be quite a pain but they also are really cool. Hope that helps.
