Normal Behavior?

Is it normal for an anemone to hide on the underside of a rock Dont they need light?or like light?It is eating .I have 220 watts pc.It seems to fully inflate.?

You know, when I first got mine, it liked to hide underneath the rock as well, just barely poking its "head" out during the day. . .usually. It still seems to like the bottom of the tank, but is finally back out in the open. I wonder if it's just an acclimation thing. How long have you had yours?

they can move around when they want. if they arent happy they will find a better spot.

The same thing happened to me. I put it a nice spot in the front. Later couldn't find it. It moved under a rock. Now its starting to come out after a week.
