My new bubble tip anenome keeps moving really really deep into the cracks of the rocks and getting stuck and then expanding so i cant even get it out, is this normal?
 
no they arent theyre quite low
 
A picture of the anemone in the rock would help! Sometimes BTAs go deep into a rock crevice and extend their foot out to reach the light. In my experience they like to find a hole/crevice to place their foot into and reach out. I have one that's under a ledge that reaches out a good 5 inches or so upwards

here are some pictures of where the anenome is, plus the entire tank. I was just on vacation for about 3 days and the anenome had gotten itself stuck under a rock for i dont know how long but when i moved him back up he was a little more bleached from getting no light. His foot is not damaged and is fully expanded but inside of the rock. He did this last time from before i left on vacation but got himself severely stuck. now hes at a higher point in the tank.
 
I would stop trying to move it and leave it be. It looks happy in that spot. If it isn't, then it'll move by itself to a different part of the tank. Being fully inflated is a good sign. It'll stretch out its foot and reach for more light if needed
 
It may have found its happy spot. Leave it be.
