BTA Acting Strange

I've had my BTA for a little over a week now and it has already split once. The clone went back into the rock but the main anemone acted pretty healthy. Last night it was completly out enjoying the light before I turned them out. This morning it was a little deflated but it usually is after the lights are out. In about an hour I came back and it was back in the rack with about 3 tentacles sticking out. Now it completly in and I think it is upside down. My pH is 7.8, a little low I know, SG is 1.025, Ammonia. Nitrite, Nitrate, and Phosphate are all 0. What could be wrong? Is this normal?
 
I just tried to feed it some shrimp. It's tentacles are still sticky and it grabbed the food but will not eat it. It just droped it onto the rock.
 
Try to place the food in the mouth anemone or atleast close to the mouth. The BTA should close up on the food. Be sure to cut the food into very small pieces. This will help your BTA come back.
