    I bought a green bubble tip anemone today, and I placed it on a high spot where there was a lot of light for it. I got home just now and it moved, now I was expecting it to move but it kinda moved towards the back of the tank and am afraid it will go into th dark, or someplace I can't see it to hav an eye on it. Should I move it since I just placed it there to a spot similar but in front of the tank?

    I would just let it roam, eventually they find a spot that suits their needs and attach. If you move it it will just keep wondering until it ends up where it wants to be.

    What if it attaches where I can't see it at all? And or a place where I can't feed it?

    It will extend itself out for food when it finds a place it likes so you should have little trouble finding or feeding it.

    my last nem settled in the back of my rock where it was not "on display" so i just put a small rock between its psot and the light. it then moved around to the front side on it own.
