I put a net in the tank and i hit the gig it would not let go had to pull the tips off one by one. It still looks good

Not necessarily. I have had gigs that were decomposing sting me so hard that the tentacles pulled off the anemone as well.

It is a good sign though. Especially if the anemone wasn't sticky before. It shows that the anemone is obtaining enough nourishment to produce, or use, nematocysts/venom, which are very biologically expensive to produce.

As Phil pointed out though, you can't take one aspect of an animal and conclude that it's healthy. I've had a mag in my care for roughly a year. It has become very sticky, but has virtually no feeding response. It stings the food, and holds on to it for quite a while. It eventually just lets it go though. Obviously something is wrong. I wouldn't consider the mag to be "healthy" even though it is very sticky.

Very true about what EC is saying. My mag eats regularly, but is not very sticky like my gig at all and I have had it for 3 months or so now. I still say its a recovery in process
