Hungry anemone

Why do my anemone's keep ending up in the back corner of the tank? Should I move them, or is that where they are happy? Is there anything that I can buy to feed them? They look hungry.

You need to feed him an uncooked cocktail shrimp once a week. and he keeps moving to find a better spot. For food or flow or light .
This could be a sign you lack flow or light or no food or bad water readings.

This is a good time to review your tank.
Whats used for flow?
Amount of LR and LS?
Lighting?
Any and all media filter?
Water source?
Water changes and scedule?
The stock you have from coral to fish?
