just got a BTA yesterday was looking beautiful had already found a good rock to latch on to this morning he was not fully open looked a little like a foldover sandwich position about 2 hours ago noticed he is no longer latched on rock then a few mins. later he was upside down on the rock below him guess he fell or is he dying water conditions are norm. nothing in tank is messing with him his tentacles are still inflated and cloror looks fine but I flipped him rightside up and tryed holding him gently to a new rock but he doesn,t seem to want to lach onto it

How did you acclimate it? What are your EXACT water parameters, we really need exact numbers here. Temp, salinity, AM, NI, NA, etc.
WHat type of lighting do you have (although short term this wouldn't be why your anemone is having trouble)?
The best advice I can give you at this point is leave it alone. Give it the proper environement, lighting, water quality, and flow and it should be okay. Pics would also help.
 
Let it find its own place and stop messing with. The more you mess with the worse it will be. I had one when I first start out and it didn't make it because I kept moving it and messing with.
