Another thread, another post, so I just copy it there

H. magnifica need very bright light and good water movement. If it does not have these, it will continue to move, often get kill by PH, overflow, or heater.
The recommended environment for H. magnifica is under at least 150 W MH. The point light source cause it to stay at one place. Moving away from the light result in quick drop off of light intensity. Movement of this anemone is lessen if you put it on a pedestal type rock arrangement with a smooth wide top rock. Moving down from the pedestal will result in lower current and light. If you set the tank like this for this anemone and give it adequate light and current, it will stay there where you put it.
I always have good luck keeping them in the place I want by follow this type of arrangement. Mine is right under a 150 W MH a few inches under the water level.
