    They do move around at first, but your tank is awfully young for such a sensitive creature. most recommend like a 6 month or older tank...but thats just a suggestion.

    Anyway, i have a bta and it moved around a lot for the first two weeks maybe, it finally came out and has pretty much stayed in the same spot.

    Yes, you're tank is a little young for a bta in my opinion. Your tank will go through many ups and downs over the next year and possible longer. Most anemones can't take the instability. I would return the anemone to the LFS and start with more hardy animals. I'm not criticizing, just speaking from experience. I lost an anemone by adding it too quickly several years ago. Take it slow.

    Lol. Never mind, I just saw your last post.

    I. Found it it's in a hole in the live rock..will it come out its only in there since 8 pm and has only been in the tank 3 days ..I'm hoping it finds a spot where you can see it at least I would hate for it to be hidden

    They need and like light, it will come out eventually. Just leave it be, if you mess it that could cause problems
