Healthy or not?

[LittleBee]

I got this anemone along with two others from a local reefer a couple months ago. The other two have been doing good but this one has been acting up a little. It was moving around which can be normal until it settles int a spot. It deflated and inflated a few times and then this weird thing happened a week or so ago where it looked like the menstrual filaments was coming out of the tips of the tentacles and now the tentacles are a lot shorter than when I first got the nem. Can you guys tell me if you think the nem is still healthy or not based on pictures?

Thanks!

What kind of lights do you have

To me it looks like it is either starving, or something is picking at it.

I have a kessil a350w on a 93g cube. I haven't seen it being picked on and all the other corals and anemones are fine so that's why this is a little strange to me.

If your BTAs are not clones of each other, you may be seeing the effects of chemical warfare between each of them.....
I have been keeping multiple BTAs in my system as well for years and I find that some strains of BTAs are more sensitive than others and slowly deteriorate like in your pics....

are you running a carbon reactor by any chance? I have found that running carbon has played a significant role in having less issues with multiple BTA strains in one system...

btw...do you mean "mesenterial" filaments?....

Lol yea that's what I meant. These three nems were in the same system together before I got them and all were healthy with no warfare but it could still be happening I suppose. No I don't run a carbon reactor. My system is pretty simple, just a fuge with a skimmer.

I have seen BTAs do that when switched from MH to LED lighting. I believe the intensity that a lot of LED units put out can shock them at first. If it were me I would either lower the intensity of your unit or shade the anemone until it gets used to the transition.
