My new Condi

I have been keeping an eye on an anemone at my LFS for the last week and bought it last night. At the LFS, it was on top of a rock, fully stretched out, with a foot about 3/4-1". After bringing it home and placing it in my tank it took about an hour for it to reinflate and come to life. It then moved from its perch about halfway up in my tank and has settled in a corner on the bottom of my tank. I was surprised at how fast it moved on the rock! Based on what I have read about them, they apparently look for a place they like and stay there if it suits them. I have the Nove extreme pro and compared to the LFS, there is much, much, more lighting in my tank and it seems as if the condi didn't like all the light it was getting up high. Does this sound right and is it normal for it to stay on the bottom of the tank?

condis like the bottom, they generally will find a rock and put their foot under it, if they move to the top of the rock collum them they arnt getting enough light, but if they are mid way, or on the bottom they are fine, now if you where talking about bubble tips i would say mid way to top of rock collum, is the norm, i have a condi and 3 RBTA right now in my 135 and the condi likes the bottom and the RBTA like the upper area, just a suttle diffrence in the 2 as in how they act
