Exclamation New bubble tip anemone looks sick

I just got this bubble tip anemone in the mail today from LiveAquaria and its does not look so good. It is all slumped over and does not have very good foot hold. Also, it was a whitish brown goo stuff coming out. Please help me save my BTA!
(Update) It seems like it has a tear in the side

If there isn't a tear in the foot, it is just stressed from shipping. LA does a great job with their livestock and I haven't ever had any issues with stuff coming from them. Do you have a picture? I'd simply drip acclimate it into my system.

Its the morning after I got him and he is between two rocks. I am going to stop messing with him and just let him acclimate to my tank.

Good move. He's just trying to figure out what is going on and where it can be happy. The more we try to intervene, the more stress we create and lead to lower rate of success.
