Anemone question

[KorD]

I have asked around and did a lot of research on this.
I found two marks on my nem that I can not figure out at all.. They look like the sidewall of the foot is bubbled and getting ready to pop open. Sort of like the blisters you see on a second and third degree burn victim (minus the infection).
I do however have another nem in the tank that is a maxi mini, but it lives over 10 inches away and never moves. There is nothing else in the general area that can sting or touch the nem.

Here is a picture of the nem after lights out (best time to view the location I am talking about when it is not fully extended and while it is getting ready to sleep for the night.

56 views and no guess on this???
I'll throw some out there.. Chickenpox, herpes, boils..... someone has to have seen this before... or can point me in the right direction...

Could it be some kind of parasite or maybe a nudibranch/slug? Does it seem like anything is inside of the blister/boil? Have you viewed any movement inside of the blister/boil? Does the anemone seem otherwise healthy? I'm not on my home computer so I cannot get the best view of the pic I'll take a better look when I get out of work tonight.

The nem is healthy and happy.. there is nothing inside of it that I know of. It looks like just a thin outer wall. I'll try to get a better picture tonight also. Other then that.. it is like bubbles

Looks like a split caused by damage at some point. Has it moved recently? Do you have a power head it could have hit up against. Anemones can move around at night so this is why I ask. I turn mine off at night. In nature the oceans are a lot calmer at night.

Power head is not the issue here.. it would have had it's tentacles ripped of if that was the case. The jebao 25 is always on, but the nem has medium flow and moderate lighting. It only moved because I transferred tanks a few weeks ago and it decided it did not like the sanded anymore..LOL... But I do have to say it loves the Kessil I now have hanging above the tank compared to the chinese FS LED I was using.
It did move from on the rock it was on for about a year to under the rocks ledge two weeks ago. it might have moved roughly 7 inches at most. This nem is not one for moving much or just wandering around. Do you think it could be just marks now from stretching and rubbing on the rock?

Stretch marks... my RBTA had the same marks when it decided to place its foot at the base of the rocks then stretch out for the light.

The Nem's foot is where the red circle is, been this way for 6 mo

yeah everybody (almost) has to get in the picture... cam hogs..

Awesome picture... My critters all do the same thing.. They think the camera is a new fancy device for them..LOL

Thanks for the input about the stretch marks.. I was just hoping I didn't have to drag it out back and put it down..LOL I rally like this little guy.
