RBTA tenical floating around tank

[alanbates12]

Hey I've noticed over the past few days two different times about a 4 to 6 inch technical floating around the tank. Looks like no damage, ie power head. but a nice rose colored technical floating around. I've noticed some of the technicals look like a balloon you twist up in the middle. So are they twisting and breaking off or is this normal. also if a technical lands on a coral will it kill it? Other than that looks very healthy.

What clowns are hosting in it? I have seen some clowns get rough with their nems and tenticals break off (especially Maroons).

I have seen this happen with my RBTA & our saddleback clown... She got rough several times, and the tentacle floated around and didn't do much of anything... If it landed on something, it would probably sting it, but not sure for how long.
