When I originally bought this anenome the tentacles were short with bubble tips. Now they have evolved into very long “stringy” tentacles. Normal? Stretching for light?

Just curious on other people’s thoughts. Thanks!!

Some bubble some don't and some can do both. Why is the mystery. Some speculate flow others think light but no one knows for sure. I used to think flow then mine decided to prove me wrong. Yours looks go good to me.

Some I used to have showing a little of both.
