i moved my take 3 weeks ago from a place 1 hour away, somehow he broke up and became 3 different pieces. the original piece stayed on the original rock. a smaller piece that was about the size of a quarter crawled into a crater where it got some lighting he seems to be doing fine. the other fell into my pipings and didnt find him in my refugium untill 3 days later. by that time it broke into another 2 pieces that i found in my refugium. i tried to put them back into the main tank but one didnt survive. the other one keeped going into the shadows and the tips would always be pointed down and shoves its tip into the rock so there would be no light exposure. i dont know what's wrong. the feet still grabs onto the rock and moves around but the tip stays skinny and flat. if anyone is able to give me any info, i would greatly appreciate it. thanks in advance.
 
I have 2 year old VHO 440watt lights by the way on a 55 gallon tank. trying to find new strips for them but they are quite expensive.
 
Moving your tank caused stress on your anemone and caused it to split - not that uncommon at all. When you moved your tank you disturbed the ecosystem and are now seeing the problems of cycling a "new" tank with inhabitants. Test your water, report your parameters (with numbers) and keep up on your water changes.
