What's the temperature of the water? I have a BTA, but I used to keep carribean flower anemones. One of them was kept in a tank without a heater and during the winter, the tank temp dropped down to below 70 degrees F. The anemone lost all of its tentacles. A friend of mine took it and put it in his tank, but it never recovered. I think in order for it to regenerate tentacles it must have energy to do so, but it needs its tentacles to capture food and bring it to its mouth. I don't know if photosynthesis will take place on its disc, but if it does, perhaps providing strong lighting would help it. I don't know if there is much you could do at this point but wait. I'm not sure if feeding directly to its mouth would aggrevate it. Wish you and the BTA well. Keep us informed.
