Trying to restore a BTA in terrible condition

Hi everyone
I've had two anemonies, clones of eachother for awhile. Awhile back I sold one healthy one to a user here, and the other one was fine, but due to a tank crash it disapearred and i assumed it died because of the crash.

Well now maybe 3-4 months from then, amazingly, I have found it, and it has reduced from the size of a baseball to the size of a dime during this time it was missing.
My tank is in good condition, but its not. I'm not sure how to bring it back. I have fed it two mysid shrimp, and its been moving about like crazy looking for a place to settle since I've given it that energy. so I'm not sure what else to do.

It has only 10 tentacles since its so small now, and seems to keep wanting to hide in the rockwork where it will get lost.
any tips?
thanks

I'll upload pics sometime.
 
I would try and feed it small amounts of mysis or brine shrimp every couple of days. If it does not accept the food right away just keep trying to feed it. I have been coaxing a gbta in one of my maintenance tanks back to full health doing this just once a week. Good luck and have patience.
