Is this LTA going to be ok?

[MrGuy]

For a number of weeks I've had a new Long Tentacle Anemone which seems to be quite healthy and looks fine, but has not attached itself to anything. Right now it is basically sitting in a spot where the wave makers and other circulation keeps it there, but when feeding and pumps are off it floats free.
I've tried a few things, like digging a hole in the sand so maybe it would attach to glass bottom, but it hasn't. The clown feeds it, and as far as I can tell it's eaten, and acts normal. The video shows it a bit small, but it will extend quite a bit larger throughout the day; roughly 6+" across.

it looks ok in the video. I had to separate my clowns and my lta. They are too big for it. When separated from the clowns, she attached better.

One possible issue is the clarkii. When I first added a 1" maroon into the tank, it drove 2 BTAs away from their homes of 8 months. Thankfully, the 3rd BTA was willing to host. Maybe you can try to keep the clown away from the LTA for a while.

Sure it's an LTA?
Does it have red foot and spotted veracuue?
