When I got a small anemone from the store it came on a mounting spike.
How to I encourage it to move to its rock?
 
Massage the foot of the nem to encourage it to release itself from the store mount

Turn off your powerheads and set the nem in a general location that you would like it to be and wait for it to grab a hold of the rock before turning flow back on.

Bear in mind that it may not stay where you want it to be. It will go where it is happy.
 
Most nems don't like strong flow. Point a powerhead toward it & it will usually detach & move on it's own.

Just from what you wrote, I think you don't have an anemone but a large polyp coral of some type. You should post a picture.
Anemone do not have a skeleton and is not attached to any structure permanently like corals. They move around.
My guess is that you are a very inexperience aquarium/reef keeper.

No, Im not new, my name is Jacques Cousteau, international French naval officer, explorer, conservationist, filmmaker, innovator, scientist, photographer, author and researcher who studied the sea and all forms of life in water.

\But I post questions in this forum to test your skills for my next book and film.

I'm actually typing this from my submarine, under the antarctic ice.
