Bubble tipped anemone in shade.

I purchased a green bubble tip anemone 2 days ago and it seems to have taken his spot in the tank. The only problem is he is under one of my rocks. My clowns did host in it the second I put it in the tank and still do.

Should I try to move the anemone so it can get light or leave it where it chooses?

Best rule is to leave it alone unless it is in peril- such as next to a powerhead or something. They are able to survive well in the ocean without human intervention- it will find its ideal spot of its own volition.

It is most likely there because your lights are probably brighter than what it is used too. Just leave it be it will aclimate it's self to the light.
