I found my bulb tip anemone on its face inside of a rock yesterday and I put it on a different rock and it isnt looking to good. Will it survive? How do I treat it?
Whats wrong with my BTA?

ouch... sorry bout your bta. makavelli may be right...
none the less, don't give up on it- Make sure nothing in your tank is messing with it for starters (over agressive clowns, peppermint shrimp etc). I personally would say that you should move it to an area where it wont get blasted by your flow, but it will still be getting some gentle movement and a moderate amount of light. When they are struggling like yours is, direct flow/high light exposure will only worsen things.
What and how often are you feeding it? what kind of lighting and skimmer are you using? I would recommend feeding some silversides (I like Prosalt's)- just make sure you break up the fish into small chunks- especially while your bta is as stressed as it is looking. let us know how things progress-
just my 2 cents.
