RBTA in the dark

4 days ago, I introduced a RBTA anemone to my tank, it moved underneath a rock and has remained there for 3 days, it gets little to no light in that spot and has been deflated since it arrived, the mouth seams normal.
Should I flip the rock so it gets light, or should I leave it alone for a few more days and see what happens?
 
how are your parameters? what kind of lighting and flow? if all those are normal, i would leave it alone. i know u want to move it but i think it's best to leave it and watch it for now.
 
Parameters are ok, lights are MH, but I belive parameters and equipment is not a issue as I have two GBTA's about 12" from this RBTA and these are doing very good.
 
It is possible that it came from a tank with lower lighting(pc's vho, etc.) and has not acclimated to the higher lights yet. As long as it is not sickly looking, leave it be and it should come back around. Pics would help.
