Anemones need 2 things in its simple life. Good water (meaning excellant quality/flow and food) and of course light. If the anemone starts to wander around then this tells you that its not happy. Its either looking for better light, better water or both!. In 10 gallons this doesnt give it many options 
)
Having kept anemones i would advise taking them to your local shop and perhaps get some credit in their exhange for something more suitable.
I have 1 small anemone in my tank (i dont count aptiasia as nennys.. they are skum that should be eradicated with EXTRREEME prejudice!
) I was told its a juvinle bubble tip but im not so sure... I think it ight be a majano. So for now i am content to keep it as its small and doesnt cause trouble. however if this one ever goes then I will never have an anemone again.
Its nevr wise to have something in your tank that is such a potential danger to everything that lives with it. if it dies during the night it could take the entire tank with tit.. If it wanders around it will sting everything in its path and cause untold damage. the condition they need is near perfect for them and of course there is the envnironemental issue that sees these lovely creatures taken from their habitate inhuge numbers only for 90% of them to die in transit)
Considering that the life span of an anemone is 100s, perhaps 1000s of years (scientists cant find any ageing process/cells wthin the creature) then can any of use say we have kept one succesfully even if we kept one for 10 years? 10 years out of a possible 1000 or even more is noteven close IMO.
IMO i would get rid, they could be more trouble than you realise.)

That seems like a pretty good deal to me.. That last link..
the anemnone should be one of the last things you add, not the first. The odds of it surviving are near-nil. You should bring it back to a store or find someone near you willing to keep it for a few months until your tank is up and stable and you have a bit of a handle on what you are getting yourself into...
