I got this BTA like 3 months ago. It look great and all. It split like 2 months ago and both NEMS look good I feed them twice a week they eat look healthy never walked around the tank ( thankk God ) . My only complaint is they dont grow. Never kept a NEM so are they real slow growers or is their something more i can do ?

From That Picture it looks like the Anemone is Bleached. Main source would be not enough light. Anemones get most of their nutrition from light, so my question is what light do you have, what intensities are you running it at, how far away from the light to the nem. Also yes. they can be slow growers.
 
It's not bleached , it's under led lights, in the middle of the tank, not shaded at all. Took pic with my phone. The body is green and has bright pink bubble tips
 
Should I love them ? Place one on the sand bed and one higher up ? See what happens ?

They will move to where they want unfortunately. If they look healthy I️ would leave them. They can be slower growers than some other corals.
 
In that case, I guess They are happy where they are, haven't moved in 3 months.
