Hi - is it normal for a BTA to have a flat, wide, and inflated oral disc? This typically happens during the brighter hours, and the tentacles seem full. At night, the anemone tightens up and the tentacles become thinner. It loves to eat the food that blows around the tank when feeding the other fish. Just want to make sure it’s doing okay!

HI, very nice ,looks normal and happy to me.
 
@fishguy242 great! Thank you for responding so quickly. I don’t often see photos of the oral disc so prominent. Usually it’s just a bunch of tentacles!
