I fed my bleached BTA today and saw something very odd. I've had it for about 2 months now and I got it from a friend who wasn't ready to care for it, and everything has been going great (starting to get color back and puffing up) however today I noticed this a few hours after feeding. I've checked my tanks levels that they are all fine.

No3 0.6
PO4 0.2
Temp 79.2
Sal 1.026

Any idea what's going on?

Do you happen to have a picture of the underside of that nem?
 
Could be excreting waste. Almost looks like a seabae anemone

Like the foot? No but before I moved it it look ok no stretch Mark's or rips.

IT DOES! Like a mix of a bta and a seabae... one of the reasons I wanted to take it off its hands and nurse it back to health!
 
This picture is from just now but it had its guts hanging out all night up until like 4 in the morning then it shut its mouth and looks like this. It'll look like it's on the edge of death then look ok so I dont know what's going on with it.

That looks a lot better (in comparison) If it was expelling insides it was/is very stressed still. Have you fed it before then or was that the first time you'd offered it food?
 
I've had it for 2 months and I've been feeding it every3 or 4 days and they've all gone find feeding wise, all the same size and 6he same thing (a frozen scallop)
