Any tear or hole will likely result in infection and possibly loss--Could you elaborate a little (i.e. how long have you had it, lighting, feeding schedule) and I'll try to give a little better advice).
Also how does it appear now--open, closed, mouth open/closed...sometimes the best thing to do is nothing...keep us updated

Its possible the tear is from another animal in the tank and could be made worse---MH lights are often too much for BTAs--usually they prefer PCs although nothing is set in stone. If you notice it never fully opening, I would change out the lights (unless you have other things in there that need it)
I would seriously consider returning him...anemones with tears, which I know I already mentioned, *usually* don't ever heal up...

Are you sure about the pc lighting? First time I heard anenomes prefer it over MH :notsure: I have mine under T5's, wouldn't do pc unless it was some real strong pc though.
