Is my RBT Anenome sick?

Hello,

Im guessing your going to say that it looks like it just got stung, however there is nothing in the tank that should be disturbing it. I do have it in a smaller tank right now until my 120 gets done cycling and then I will transfer it into that. I feed it yesterday and it took down alot of mysis. I do have another RBTA in this tank as well that looks very healthy. In the pictures you can see it looks like on the left side it has deflated or missing tentacles. The last two pictures are of it at night as well as the next morning when it was closed up. I have Viparspectra LEDs 10" off water with blues on 50% and whites on 10% as this is a brand new light so i have not turned it up too much yet. Other than that it appears to be acting normal and not really moving. Also have 2 clowns and a pajama in this tank. Corals are a candy cane, orange yuma ricordias and an unknown palythoa as well as a kenya tree. At first I thought it was splitting but it has been like this for a few days now.

Might be in the process of cloning as you mentioned, it's not always a perfect process. It looks other wise healthy. I have had clowns bite the tips off BTA never the entire tentacle though.

Thanks. I thought coning only took about a day to complete though? This is about day 3 that it has looked like this. Also the clowns dont go near the nems and are not hosting in them so i wouldnt think that caused this. In the second picture you can kind of see the shriveled tentacles. Also that is mysis shrimp in its mouth in the pictures and otherwise looks pretty healthy to me.
