My Anemone is upside down...

I went home for lunch today and my anemone is off its rock and "drifting" upside down, the color is still good so I don't it's dead, what's up? It eats when I feed it, and it doesn't move too much, any ideas? Oh, its a RTBA by the way.

Normally if it's foot comes loose from the rock, then the end is near. What are your tank parameters and what kind of settup do you have?

Not a good sign. When I first started, my anemone did this and it eventually died.

He or it (whatever) is fine now, it's big and hungry. I hope he doesn't die though, are they toxic or anything? I almost bought a seapple the other day, but the guy said if it dies it'll kill everything in the tank.

Some of them will take a tumble or two in front of a powerhead, they seem to like the movement. I had one the other day go sailing and tumble around and around in front of the powerhead, it eventually settled to a new rock at the bottom of the tank and is just fine. I think some of them have a sense of humor and a funny streak in them. It yours is attached now and eating, dont worry about her, she will be just fine. They just do it every now and again for fun I think, lol

Yea stay away from the sea apple. They are realy cool to look at, but will wipe out your whole tank if it dies.
