Got a Bubble Tip Anonome for my clown but...

They fell in love so quick and moved to an area of the tank where I can't even see them (I guess for privacy).

Serioulsy though, is it ok if I move the anonome? I would really like to be able to watch them.

The anemone will move to the best conditions for itself, usually. If you put it back where you want it, it will likely just move again. There's really nothing you can do to truly stop them. though there are a few tricks to getting them to go where you want. The key is to find what's important where it keeps going. Is it getting good light there, or shade from the light? What's the flow like? Things like that. Find somewhere else in your tank with similar conditions.

It's much worse when they crawl somewhere that they can get sucked into a powerhead intake and die.
