Best way to coax a RBTA to move

I've got an anemone that recently move to a location in my tank that makes it hard to see and impossible to feed. The anemone had been in it's previous location for almost a year. I believe that the move may have been caused by an event (CB butterfly killed a sea hare). Anyway, my main concern is that I can not feed it. I was hoping to find a subtle way to induce it to move and maybe make a new home where I can get to it. I have read that one method is to re-direct the water flow towards it, but this is a little problematic in it's present location. I have also, in the past, had the anemone wander the tank when there was a problem with the lights for a couple of days. Anyway, I wanted to get some suggestions on what would be best.

Thanks
 
Changing the flow in SOME way, not necessarily toward it, could also encourage a move. Is moving the rockwork out of the question?

You could also feed with a turkey baster and just squirt some frozen preparation toward it. BTAs are adept at pulling smaller prey out of the water column. I believe that's actually their natural prey versus live, whole fish.

good luck,
pete
