Recovering a radiated BTA

I purchased a green BTA 2 weeks ago. I introduced it to my 29 gallon and it planted its foot between 2 rocks. The next day it looked horrible but I figured it was simply adjusting. Well last friday I noticed that some caulerpa that I had added also died however any piece that was under an overhand was fine. I examined my MH unit to fined the the glass cover had slipped off to the side (its a coralife hang on unit) so everything was being exposed to high doses of UV. I fixed the problem and also added a glass cover to the aquarium itself just to be safe. Well the anemone is begining to show signs of improvement. Is there anything else I could be doing to help with the recovery besides my regular tank care and feedings (the anemone gets a couple mysis shrimp every other day after I feed the tank)?
 
Instead of feeding it mysis shrimp, feed it pieces of silversides and pieces of meaty shrimp. Anemones prefer meaty foods.
