First off,a happy anemone does NOT move all over the tank...What kind of lighting do you have,,,How old is thios tank???And what are the water readings??? But my guess is that you don't have good enough lighting to keep it happy.That is why it is looking for better light(moving around)...

My readings are fine i have a Marine blue Actinic, Coralife 10,000K daylight lamp, Marine White light, Prism Protien skimmer, 2 Powerheads. I was using a canaster filter with just floss in it but it broke so i am in the middle of making a sump. my LFS told me the lighting would be fine. It's not constantly on the move but every 3-4 weeks it will move around a little. oh and the the tank has been set up for 6 months. I don't want to lose it as the two black & white clowns are never away from it.
Thanks

Those lights are NOT fine for an anemone.Although you didn't say,The best they could be is 40 watts each.Anemones require rather intense"reef type" lighting of at least three watts per gallon to thrive. So your canister broke down,,,and you are building a sump....What do you have running now???And WHAT ARE THE WATER READINGS????? You say they are fine,,,But I kinda doubt it....
