BTA Hiding under rock?

Well my heater screwed up the other day
and i ended up moving my BTA to a 75 gallon tank
it is after moving itself under a ledge,
its fully open but its not in any light or flow
is there any reasons for this?
(I know i should be posting this in the Clown and nem but i normally dont get answer for a few days)

Your best bet is to let it pick its home. I have had this happen for a few different reasons in the past. Everything turned out just fine after letting the anemone get comfortable and take its time settling in.

Yes give it some time, it will find a place it likes. But in my experiece bta's will also move under a rock and die if it is stressed enough. If you don't see it after a few days make sure it isn't dead. They decompose quickly and wreak havoc when they do.
