Can Nems flip themselves over?

Should your worry if a Nem is face down. Not sure how mobile they really are.

from my exp yes. Ive watched a few release from the rocks and take a powerhead ride across the tank lol

Mines still looking for a place and I hate always bothering him, but I worry how often he seems to land upside down.

An upside down anemone will rot pretty quickly. Turn it right side up and then turn down the current a little until it attaches to something.

Definitely agree with the suggestion of turning down the flow and attempting to move it a location for attachment. It will find a place from there that it prefers.

What kind of nem?
I have never seen a nem rebound from turning upside down/inside out.

Skrinking is fine, but turning upside down and inside own are worrysome.

I have seen people with High flow tanks get a glass betta bowl and layer about 1/2" sand in the bottom of the bowl.
They put the anemone in the betta bowl / in the bottom corner of the tank...worked well but iffy on the looks
