Anemone on the move, what to do?

I have a tiny (about 1 inch wide fully extended) long tentacle anemone that came in a piece of live rock i brought home. since he has been in my tank, he has been constantly on the move. mostly is has been in the same piece of LR but now hes going up the side of the glass. hes sitting at the top and Im kinda afraid he'll climb out. or at lease try to get out, I have glass on top. I switched from NO to MH last week and I think that has a lot to do with it. I guess my question is should i move him to lower light or higher? Is he shocked from the amount of light or is he trying to get more? I want to keep him happy. Please help!
Thanks

Make sure he can't get to your powerhead...anything with any form of intake is no good for the LT anemones...he'll move around until he's happy with where he is...and then in a week or two, he'll move again :D They're just funny that way.

Doesnt look like that at all. he has fewer tentacles and they are whitish purple (glows slightly green under actinic) i can almost alwats see his mouth and little white stripes leasing from it.
