He will move once you put him in your tank either way. A new nem never settles for the first place you drop it.

There is a lot of good reading out there on them.

Good luck.
I agree with all but one thing I just bought a 12" carpet two days ago it has not moved from the spot it droped ( mind u this happen to be a location made for his flow and light needs) and looks even better then it did at the pet store

Lucky. Many people complain about roaming anemones.

I myself have never had one stay in it's original placement.

My current RBTA moved about, and now has a 10" area it juggles.

It has been in the same area for long time now, but it took a bit to settle.... In highest flow possible. 6" from my powerhead.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
