I know it looks soooo bad but I want to ask if you guys think she will make it. picture of the first day and the picture of today.

My tank is like 8 months old

Ammonia 0
Nitrates and Nitrites 0
PH 8.4

I just want to know if any of you have some experience with sick anemones like this one. Thank you

and light is moderate to high where she is right now

I wish I could help you, but I don't have much experience with anemones. I'll bump this so that somebody with more skill might see it and chime in. Good luck!

It's really hard to tell anything from your pictures (too much actinic) but BTAs are extremely hardy and handle cutting/tearing well. Make sure you give it perfect water quality and it should heal up.

Ouch, shredded! I've had a BTA that had it's mouth caught through the protective guard of my powerhead before (thankfully not through the propellers). I took the guard off to see if the BTA would pull itself off and it couldn't, so unfortunately it couldn't and the meaty part of its mouth had to be removed. From this, I didn't think it would make it. I put it in my hospital tank, and I saw very faint movement, BUT it was moving. Later in the day it attached to a rock, so I figured it was recoverable. Half a week passed and it bubbled up and turned into a cup (I think it's trying to form a new mouth now maybe). I've since put it back in my DT and it's been hiding in a cave and for the first time today, it came out for some light, so I'm sure my guy will recover. Anyways, that's my story, so don't lose hope.

I think that as long as your BTA will attach, there's a very strong chance it will survive.

Good luck!

My GBTA was chewed down to the size of a large grape in September... looks beautiful today. Yours will come back. They seem to crawl around as they heal, and find what they need (light/water flow/ protection) as they go.

You should be okay.
