Good score Brad. Well, to protect your huge investment, place it initially in the lowest flow area you can find. This will give it a chance to get a good strong grip on the rock and not get blown around by strong currents in an SPS tank. The last thing you want is to introduce mr. rose to mr. powerhead. Once its happy in the low current area, it will learn that that is the best spot for it and it won't move. In my tank, my anemones sit directly below my Maxijet 1200 so it doesn't get any of the flow directed at it. It will not move to the higher flow areas of the tank. This is how I keep it from wandering around.

Another idea is to put it in an isolation container (in your tank) with a rock in it so that it can stick to that rock first. Then in a few days or weeks, place the rock into your tank far away from flow and powerheads.
