By wilted, I take it you mean, not having the tips enlarged? Can't really see it well, but it looks fine to me. Likely, just acclimating to your tank.
Are we looking at the same anemone I'm speaking of the one that is the side of a quarter and it's tentacles are like 2 centimeters long and it's white

hmm sorry, I really can't see it well, could you please turn off your actinics?
 
How old is your tank? water parameters? Is the mouth of the nem wide open?

Some to most nems take time to get used to their new tank so they will be small and shy.
Tank is around a year.. it's not that kind of issue. I just want to know how to bring back a sick small anemone. Do I need to feed everyday

Being in this state does not necessarily mean it is sick. I'd just watch it. It might start intaking water soon and be happy unless you saw a gaping mouth before going to this state?

I've never seen a gaping mouth so they good news. Should I try feeding it?
 
Your original post was a bit cryptic (maybe proof-read before posting? :D). I assume you picked up the BTA from RAP and this other nem was a hitchhiker? If so, it just looks like it's bleached and needs some TLC. Just give it light and hope for the best. It looks like the BW is doing fine so I don't think it's a water parameter issue.

Yes exactly. I'm sorry lol I've been speaking of the hitchhiker
 
Hah, that makes a lot more sense!

Looks like it may have been shaded and bleached out. As previously mentioned, just wait it out a few days to see if it perks up.
