Finally after doing some research for the past few month I decided to try a BTA in my tank, and I just want to hear from people that keep this kind of anemone just to get some inside on what to do and what not to do!

It looks like you got a healthy one, so that's a good start. Make sure you give it clean water and lots of light. And IMO, feed it about once a week or so. Also, if it moves around, let it. Forcing it to go where it doesn't want will stress it out and possibly kill it over time.

You have nice bright lighting and decent tank conditions including decent flow :) therefore he should stay low in the tank.

If he moves at all it will be to find lower lighting or better protection for his base/column. BTA's do not have powerful stings, so they need to have protection in the rocks so they don't get eaten. Just watch that he doesn't slip into your rock pile where you can't find him. Generally speaking, as long as conditions are good and they feel protected, they won't move.
