Will my GBT move again?

i have a 90 gallon tank and i bought a green bubble tip last week. It came on a rock at the store so i just placed the rock in the tank on another rock and the anemone didn't move for like 4 or 5 days but for the past 4 days he has gone behind that rock that he was on and is now on the back of the tank basically sandwiched in between the rock and the glass in the back on the tank i can only see the outside of him not the inside so i do something or should i just let him be?

Anemones will move. That's why they aren't considered reef safe.
Provide good flow, very strong lighting, and pristine water quality. The anemone will find a home on it's own terms.
When I moved my tank my BTA crawled into the back of a cave and hid there for a month before reappearing. Horribly bleached, but it came out of it and is now doing great. (of course it also crawled across one of my clams and scared me to death...)

same thing happened to me. I thought one was lost for a month and replaced it... now i have two monsters.
once they found a spot though they haven't really moved much in the past few months. if you change the direction of a powerhead in the slightest though it can make the bta pack up and move a little.
