mobile anemone

I've got a bubble tip anemone that is driving me crazy!@ I put it at the top of my tank for the best lighting and for exposure to my percula pair and it keeps moving. Now it has attached itself to one of my bottom rocks in a dark corner at the back of my tank. What a moron! I'm so mad. Anyway, if I can get the dummy out of there eventually can i glue it down to a rock to keep it from roaming. If so, what can i use with what method. Any suggestions please.

I think it will die if you glue it bud... Anemones will move around the tank until they find somewhere they like. This happened to a friend of mine where it moved to the back. He made the anemone move by changing the light/flow conditions in that area and it moved on its own the very next day to the front...

DO NOT GLUE!!! It will figure out where it wants to be in your tank, not you, sorry, thats the way animals are sometimes.

Did you do any reasearch on them? Let it find the spot that it likes.

My green BTAs all stick to the same locations. But my rose BTAs move all over the tank - burnt a couple of corals. If they didn't look so cool I would get rid of them.
