Are the smaller tentacles always like that or just on occassion? Overall, the anemone looks pretty healthy to me, but I'm definitely still learning about these creatures. Do you have a host clown or some other animal that might be irritating the anemone in that one area?

By the way, your English is better than most of the native English speakers posting here.

Your LTA is perfectly fine. That is normal. I have had mine now for about 8 months. I have found mine will retract in the evening then slowly fill out with the lights on. Occationally I will find it looking completely shrunk down. Then after a few hours it will look fine. These are just ways that the LTA flushes out it's system and takes in fresh water. They don't have a circulatory system.

Differen clownfish host different anemone's. I would probably give it more time.

It looks like your LTA is sitting on rocks. I have read that they prefer a deep sand bed. I have mine in about a 4 inch (10 cm) sand bed that it has buried its foot in. If yours is staying where it is it might be fine.

Your welcome and good luck!
