New Rose Bulb looking weak

Hello folks. I am a little concerned about my rose bulb anemone that I just got yesterday. I drip-acclimated it and everything but it's not looking too hot. I put it at a place I wanted it and I thought would be good but of course it migrated a little. Where it migrated to though there's not much flow or light and it's a little wilty looking. I tried to feed it today like I fed my other (mini maxi carpets) anemones and the rose bulb didn't take the bit of scallop. Parameters are all good - everything else is bright and perky. Is this normal for them when they first get to a new place?

The anemone might just be pissy for a few days. Give it a bit to acclimate and find it's happy place.

It's actually looking better today. I'm still not happy with it's position. I have LEDs - a marineland reefbrite and also Excotic stunner strips - UV, Blue, magenta, and a blue and white. My testing day is Monday but last Monday undetectable nitrates, nitrites, ammonia. Calclium 400, PH is 8.0 (a little low, I haven't been able to get it up), temp is 78, salinity 1.26. It's a 15 gallon tall nano.
Here it is this morning:

Yesterday it looked MUCH worse. And like I said previously, I put it right under the UV and blue lights but it moved itself away from those. So it's mostly getting the blue stunner and reefbright. Tank will be a year old in August. I have a good amount of copepods and amphibods in the tank in addition to the other stock.
