Is my RBTA splitting?

After a year of waiting, this past Friday I finally broke down and got this guy from
my LFS. It cost a small fortune but I think it was well worth it. When fully expanded,
I think it's about 12 inches across.

When it was in the LFS's tank, I think it was under either plain PC or less so it's
having a hard time adjusting to my MH lighting, it moves all over my tank. Thankfully
I don't have any corals.

After being in my tank for 3 days, it seems the mouth have moved completely to one side
of the disk and this side always look/stay pinched in (bottom left side of anemone in photo)

Is this how the splitting process starts, the mouth moving to one side of the disk
then it rips itself apart?


Many Thanks,

The mouth moving has nothing to do with splitting. It looks like to me that it is hungry as there lips will pucker up when looking for food or eating.
Have you been feeding it and if so what?
 
I've only had it for a couple of days so it's still adjusting to my tank. I gave it a small piece of squid and it ate it up. The reason why the mouth is pucker up in the photo is because it just got done swalloning that piece of squid, otherwise, the mouth is tightly close. However, when it was in the LFS, it was never feed.

Keep up the feedings on it, the tenticles are short thus it is starving.
Feed daily until it starts to get longer tenticles.
Good luck
