    I am no expert on anenomes, but I know they do strange stuff, its probably just got his foot sucked in or something where it looks like its missing. Also IMO it is not a good idea to move him where you want him. especially if his foot is attached to something. you can damage his foot. usually they will find a spot they like and stay put as long as they like it there. you can only hope that the place they find is a spot that you can see it.
    I would watch it closely and if it does appear to be dieing, get it out as that can spoil your water fairly quickly. hopefully someone with a little more knowledge on nems will chime in and give you better advice.
