My sunburst anemone split a month ago and today one of the anemones released a tentacle and looks very deflated (way smaller than usual). This is a photo of it at night time but the larger anemone actually expands in the day, whereas the unhealthy one stayed deflated today. I have some corals including sps, lps, so I was also wondering whether this could spread to them. If anyone can give me insight to what this is, and what to do that would be appreciated.

Clownfish might be stressing it out or one of those Aiptasia might've stung it.

Yeah I think it is one of these because it looks a little better today, asssuming that there isn’t an infection as it would probably have gotten worse. Most likely just stress from the aiptasia or clowns, I will remove the aiptasia on their rock
