Hi puntang and welcome to Reefland

FWIW, I've never read or seen anemone that likes to eat coral.They might sting it if they come in contact with the coral and kill it,but as far as eating it...don't think so. Your animal is probably acclimating to your tank and looking for a spot it likes to settle into. If you want to feed it,try some silversides or shrimp.
Do you have a pic of your anemone to share with us?
I think,personally, that it probably likes the spot that your coral is accupying at the moment
Here's a link for you to read about anemones and anemonefish,if you have not read it already
