Okay, I didnt like touching it or moving it but that last night my clown was pushing into its foot while its head got mushed into the sand. It wasnt going to live if I hadnt flipped it and made sure clown couldnt mess it up again. Today it had moved back into the light a bit so fingers crossed everythings slowly getting happy

If it isn't eating yet, do the best you can to give it light. It will need the nourishment to regain strength. Also you said the mouth was wide open.Is it still open, and if so is the tissue surrounding the mouth firm or slack ? If slack, when you look inside do you see white noodle like stuff ? BTW re inflating is a good sign, it may have just deflated to evacuate waste, they do this through the mouth. If it is inflated, with a closed mouth. It would be best to just leave it. It will find a comfortable spot and settle down until it decides to move again. Handling can be stressful, but you can run your fingers lightly through the tentacles without causing a problem. I know most fish stores wont mention this, if they even know, but its better to have your nem settled into the tank and doing well before adding a clown. Clowns can be stressful, with all the attention they devote to the host.

Ya I wish they would have told me to let the anemone settle in then get the clown in at least a couple days... I would have came back but whatever. I don't really like the staff at that store all they want is money instead of loyal customers

You don't " HAVE " to feed them. Like other corals they will get nourishment from the NO3 in the water, and also from the light. If you have clowns, often they will feed the nem for you, and it will also feed on the clown poo, and fish food that floats past. Not sure about LTAs but with BTAs, if you feed them they get big fast, so if you want a big BTA feed it.
