Moving anenome

Hi all:
I recently bought a carpet anenome for SWF and am quite happy with him (it). He moved up next to my glass over night and now all I can see is his underside with the top of him facing the back of the tank. Is there a safe way to move him so that I can actually see him? I bought a powerhead and positioned it to blow on him to see if would work, but nothing yet. In fact I think he enjoys it.

I have tried everything to move my BTA. Nothing works...he is behind all my rock...if I peek between 2 pieces, I can see him...a little. My solution...get 2 more. My carpet and condi also moved until they found places they liked...luckily they found places that I like too!
 
Right there with you guys...my BTA moved behind the rocks. I thought they liked mod-high light and current !!! Mine likes low light and low current !!!
Stupid invert .... :D
Solution,.....buy more !!! Same happened with my blue linkia. he sat in the middle of everything. After 2 days, he disappears. After hunting in the dark with a flashlight, I found him. Woke up this morning and he was on the front glass. Came home from work and I have spent 4 hours looking for him....and watching a shrimp molt. I CANNOT find him !!! Solution,....buy more !!! I have found that there is a such thing as TOO much rock !!! With too much rock, you inverts will move behind it or under it ... stupid human ... :D :D
