Unfortunately, I have to disagree. Looks like its insides are denigrating. Watch it close and if this is the case, pull it out before it might nuke your tank. (Depending on water volume)

Tats -

What are you feeding him??

I've got an RBTA & a GBTA. Each likes: a little flow, a little shade, to be nestled on three sides (don't we all!) and eat Sand Eels or Silver sides.

I think he's splitting.

But IF he dies, landy's right: Get him out and do a healthY water change. He'll toxify your tank if he goes.

i feed him silver sides 2-3 times a week this is the second time it has moved the first time it went for a koralia and i saved it in time and just the other day when it moved to its current location , the origanal location he had a gental flow and plenty of rockwork to be snugled up in. the location it is in is right where the skimmer discharge as at.

How about an updated picture, sometimes they look aweful while splitting.

Thats wonderful, anemones are amazing. I would leave it be, the only time mine moved (stayed in place for over a year) was when it was getting ready to split. It moved severl times, this continued for a couple months. I racked my brain testing everythng, I thought something was off. Just make sure it can't wander into anything that can injur it, intakes mainly. Lookin good.

Looking MUCH better, maybe it just had some bad sushi!

I have heard of bad batches of SS so just some thing to think about! I feed all my anemones muscles that i buy from the frozen food isle! Just a thought!

this anemone is starting to p*** me off now for the second time it made its way across the tank in 10 minutes time to a koralia it has no tears and no damaged parts os agian hopefully it woll be ok if this one keeps it up and does not make it i will not get another untill i have a drilled tank for it ive lost 1 before this one and i will not loose another

i think im going to move him to my 90 gal there is allot more chioces for him to live in

If he's moving around, he might not have liked his previous options. Kepp him nestled in and if he moves, so be it.

i allready moved him to the 90 there is allot of more places for him to go, the 20 is pretty full of corals and not to many places for him,
