My tubular anemone has moved to the bottom, back side of my tank where there is hardly any light. Also, the clown fish is not nestling in the tentacles anymore. What is going on and what should I do? I looked at it today and it doesn't look much different except that it is not as green as it was.

I'm not sure what you mean by tubular anemone, but if you mean anemones from the Cerianthus genus, they are not photosynthetic and do not need light. Also, I have not heard of clownfish being hosted by tube anemones. If possible, can you post pictures of your anemone?

Other questions are, how deep of a sand bed do you have (tube anemones prefer to have a deeper sand bed), how old is your tank, what type of lighting do you have, and what are your water parameters?

edit: Also, what type of water are you using?
