Need some help with RBTA

I have a rbta and it has been in the same spot for about a month and last night it decided to move to the back of the tank on the sand. My question is should I just leave it and it will find its way to a new spot. Or should I try to move it myself.

When I just shined a flashlight at it the whole thing turned towards me and opened up rather quickly so it still looks really healthy.
 
I would leave it alone. It will find it's happy spot. Mine started moving around and ended up back in the spot it started from. then a week later it split.
 
Lets break this down to simple terms.
Would th INtake be where water comes OUT

OR would the INtake be where the water goes IN? *****WINNER*****
 
lol thats what I thought but there isnt really a way for it to get sucked into with my powerhead thats why I was like.....ughh the only place that has a hole was where the water shoots out.
 
what kind of powerheads do you have?
You would be surprised at how little of a space it takes to suck an anemone through.

I have a rio powerhead in the tank its only a 20g. How would you know if the anemone got sucked through?

It depends on when it got sucked in. Just imagine throwing jello into a powerhead. At first, the pieces will fly all over the place. After a while, your inhabitants will start to die.
