Dying or on the attack?

[reefermadness55]

My anemone disappeared in the back of the tank and didn't even come out at night for 2 days, this morning it showed up here, looking normal. I get home hours later and see this. Towards the top middle of the nems tentacles, its expelling mesenterial filaments from its tentacle tips, a little hard to see in the pics. But its been like this for an hour or so, its foot has a grip, not sure what to think, the corals don't seem to mind..

What are we looking at here?

Im wondering if the anemone is; going to die, go toxic, trying to attack something, just being weird, reacting to a small alk swing, going to live. I'd rather not have it release a bunch of toxin and kill my livestock

It has its insides coming out of its tentacle tips, shrivled looking, not eating mouth not gaping but not closed normally

what kind of anemone is it? it is very unusual looking in that picture. I've never seen an anemone expel its insides out of the tentacles?

Just a green bubble tip anemone, I'm kinda just waiting it out, also wondering if there is an easy way to tell if I need to take it out to prevent toxic disaster, or if it will recover

I think the easiest way to tell is if the mouth starts gaping and it starts to almost turn inside out. It will lose stickiness and not stay footed. I would leave it alone and not feed it for sure.
