if it looks healthy, i think you should leave it. moving it will only stress it out and anemones are very delicate.

Most of the time an anemone will move to where it is most comfortable to move it away will lead to major stress and will eventually cause its demise. I would leave it move to where it will move to, it just might end up going to where you want it in the first place.

The fact that it has a good grip on the rock is promising. That's a healthy reaction, and if you do anything you might move the whole rock to a different spot to see if it likes that better. In my experience it will probly just take time to adjust and then it will take care of the ,oving to a better spot for you.
