Turn your flow back on he's going to move to wherever he I happy just watch he doesn't get chopped up. If once the flow is back on for a bit and he hasn't moved point a powerhead on him to persuade him to move . They have a mind of there own and will do what ever they please. Watch other corals while the nem travels as a lot of corals are sensitive to there burn.

Thanks.. Do they prefer low or no flow on them?... When I first put him in I put him where I wanted him but I guess it was to close to my bubble coral and it tried to attack the gtba so I moved it before I went to bed to a new spot and now it's n the back I hope he moves out front again

My best advice for you is don't touch it as hard as it is not too you will end up causing more damage or stress to the anemone. They very for flow I have some in full flow others like lesser flow. What works tho is if you have a rock with a hole in it they like the feeling of there foot being protected.

I wouldn't point the powerhead at it yet, turn the flow back on it that tank that you previously stated I had shut off of he doesn't move in a week then try pointing a powerhead at him.
