So this anemone has been super healthy since about March and came home to it today looking really bad. But then I kept watching it and it looks like it might be splitting. I’ve never kept one to see one split so I’m not sure.
All of my parameters are stable so you tell me by terrible phone pics

I've not actually seen mine split but it did retreat into a rock for a couple days before the two came out, though it looked great just prior. Has it been fed recently? Mine used to deflate after too large a meal.
 
I had fed last night a blast of LRS. It looks like it’s stretching itself between two rocks.
I’ve never seen it deflated before. Just ran all my tests and seems all in order
 
Hard to tell in the photo. If it doesn't perk up it could be a sign of a problem. However, it's very common for BTAs to deflate after they eat a big meal. I think it helps them to expel waste.
