anemones with ecotech mp10

I have an mp10 right now and i like lagoon random setting the best. but wouldn't the constant changes in flow cause the anemone to keep on moving around? does anyone have any experience with an ecotech powerhead and their anemones?
 
I currently have an H. malu, S. haddoni and M. doreensis (( 40 breeder, 65, 75 respectfully )), all with 2 MP10s each. Off the top of my head I can't recall which mode, but they are on the same one, yellow, in anti sync.
All the powerheads are on the left/right sides of the tank.
 
I have a mp10 in my nano, along with a RBTA.
From my experience it seems to confirm that their foot shouldn't be in direct water flow but it's fine with the pump jetstream to move across their mouth or tenacles.
Basically set it up so that the water stream brings them food, but their foot is protected.
Doesn't matter which color/wave mode as far as I can observe.

Obviously it's best not to generalize the above to other species.
 
I have a 60G cube, and 2x MP10s. I run reef crest, alternating, with the power heads on the back left & right side.
 
I have a H. Mag in a 210 w/ a MP60WES, 2x MP40WES running EcoSmart Nutrient Transport Mode. Left/right sides and back wall.
 
My RBTA in my Solana loves my rbta. it rocks back and forth in the flow. i think a nem will benefit from any powerhead..
if your worried about the nem getting stuck into the powerhead, then that is a real worry.
 
I have 2 mp 40's and 2 mp 20's and it has never been an issue for me, but I keep to sand dwellars.(H. Malu at present)
A BTA may be more inclined to travel, w/ or w/out the use of a vort.
