My BTA went for a stroll and somehow managed to brush against an RFA who tried to eat it. I am afraid this may end badly for both anemones. They’ve been like this for about an hour, with increasing tension in the BTA’s tentacle. Can I do anything to help? Or just let it play out?
 
Following. I've never seen this before. I would think that the RFA will eventually spit it out. Regardless, if they can't cohabitate, one or both should move away from the other.
 
Wild. I'd gently pull the tentacle out, but I've never seen this. When my bta and rfa touched, the bta won the battle.
 
Ok update - I gently pulled it out as suggested. Is a little bit scraggly looking at the tip but seems ok. Neither have moved so far.
