This is just a shot in the dark, buy try getting it to attach to a dinner plate or saucer. Depending on the size of the foot. I believe it's Flighty that keeps her magnificas on plates. It's to keep critters like worms in the LR from munching on the anemones foot from underneath.
You also don't want the anemone to sit upside down for long. They "breath" through their oral disk.

I have had a red rose bubble tip anemone for about 10 months which I ordered at six inches from Dr. F & S Diver's Den. I arranged an eighteen inch square layer of live rock sloping upward from the front to the back on the right end of the tank just for this $150 anemone. The tank is 5L'X18Wx26"H. It has moved around a bit initially although it has been in the same place now for about three to four months.
When it arrived I gently settled it down in the center of this square until it attached itself. In its initial travels it has remained in the 18" square of live rock and it would attach its foot six to eight inches down through the first layer of live rock to the rocks on the substrate. It extended and extends itself by stretching its pedestal from six to eight inches upward where it opens to the light. At times it would shrink and hide down in the live rock and I suppose at these times it was not perfectly upright. It may have been expelling waste etc.
It would remain attached to the same place and come up through the rocks in different channels.
I have not seen it shrink down for a while although it appeared to do this after a heavy feeding of half inch squares of razor clams which it will take four to five at a weekly feeding. It is probably eight inches when opened fully.
The pair of Tomato clownfish who host in it have just started laying eggs on a rock just adjacent to the back edge of the anemone.
It is now about 12" in from the right end of the tank with its tentacles opened across the right side of a large piece of live rock about 14" above the substrate in a moderate flow of water. Its base is attached by a three quarter inch foot stretching six to eight inches down in the live rock where it is attached out of the light.
I have a pair of Clarkiis on the left side who I arranged a pair of Long Tentacled Anemones yesterday in a live rock coral around the substrate on the left side of the tank. They have remained in this place for one day now and the Clarkiis have been enjoying themselves because they can both fit in the new LTAs while the older one had positioned itself sideways in a three of four inch crevice near the left front with its foot wedged underneath a large piece of live rock and the substrate. Only one clown could host in it at a time.
I am getting a pair of Saddleback clowns and a five inch green BTA to go the the red BTA tomorrow from Dr. F & S Divers Den.
I have prepared a nice flat piece of live rock about eight to ten inches closer to the right end where I will attempt to get the green BTA to attach and hopefully not wander too far from home.
