Water lily popped up

It don't like to be buried to much.

How Do You Plant a Dwarf Aquarium Lily?

If you purchase from Aquarium Co-Op, you will receive a package containing one dwarf aquarium lily bulb buried in peat moss to protect it during shipping. (Our bulbs do not come with leaves or roots because they often get damaged or melt after being planted.) Remove the bulb and give it a quick rinse in water to wash off any loose dirt. Place the bulb on top of the gravel or substrate in your fish tank without burying it or else the bulb may rot. Some bulbs may float at first, but eventually they become waterlogged enough to sink.

What fish/snails do you have in the tank?  Almost always when I have a plant get uprooted it's due to a snail getting extra ambitious to get down beside/below a bulb to get to the good stuff. They'll push it around a bit and it will "pop up" out of the substrate.  It's a little annoying, but shouldn't be too detrimental to the lily.
