Do you have a sand bed? This type of anemone prefers to bury it's foot into a could of inches into sand.

It can damage any other coral it comes in contact with if it keeps rolling around in there. :(

How new is the tank & what type of lighting do you have?

You flow is what might be making it roll over to the right side. Yes, try digging a hole and 'tuck' it's foot in there and see if it stays there. It won't want rubble around it's foot - so try and keep that area only sand.

A 2 month old tank is too new for any sort of anemone. Keep a close eye on your water parameters!
