Anemone picked up and relocated, now shrivelled

I think I know the reason, but, am not sure if it's going to be a major issue or not..

On friday I changed out a modded maxijet powerhead rated at 1200gph, (several years old) for a Koralia magnum 5, rated at 1650 gph. The modded maxijet hasn't been working for a couple weeks so, I've just had two koralia evolutions running at 750gph each..

So, I changed that out on Friday..

The RBTA was moving around on an big SPS chalace I have, he actually climbed the chalace and lived on that most of Friday night and today. I fed him some shrimp this afternoon. And in the last 6 hours he moved 6 feet literally from one side of the tank to the other side of the tank. He's embedded himself almost under a rock and is all squished..

I'll monitor, but I assume this is the result of the new powerhead and water flow. He was all shriveled up, but, it was about 10 mins before the halides turned off and just actinics on, so it was probably ready for bed time as it had a big moving day evidently...
 
Usually when mine did this i would find a clone shortly after he would reappear.
 
it moved a little more last night after the halides shut off, then stayed there overnight. Not sure what it's doing but it has my clown all confused. My clown hosted the chalace (not very comfy I bet...) My large toadstool.. Then, some frogspawn.. I think the clown is totally lost. :)
