Just place it in a medium flow area and wait a day. It will attach to the rock. The problem is, after you take it out and place it, it is almost imposible to get it to stay there. Bottom line is they will go where they want and other inverts may be attacked during the move.

Are LED lights good for anemones?

Bubble Tip Anemones need high-output lighting such as metal halides, a set of VHO, PC, or T5 fluorescent bulbs, or LED lighting. Similar to many other anemones and invertebrates, BTAs house photosynthetic microorganisms that provide the anemone with energy. Higher light improves overall health and color.
