Rock Flower Anemone question, should I worry?

I added an RFA to my 10 gallon tank about two weeks ago, I have three in my other tank, have some sort of basic knowledge but still very new to them. The RFA in my 10 Gallon has been inverted for a while with my clown laying on it late at night. Today, I noticed a piece of it on another rock. I know they spawn, but there is no other RFA in the tank, so I'm hoping it's not melting or sick, etc. Also, unless my eyes aren't trained yet, the foot seems fine. Here are some pics.

It doesn't look inverted. They can contort themselves into weird angles and appearance. Its looking for a place to settle. Its possible it released babies.

The femals fra will absorb sperm from the mIl than spit out babies. Its possible yours spit out some babies

Thank you. Sorry, it's been inverted, not anymore. I was just curious because I see one little piece of the rfa but wasn't sure if it's a baby or if it broke off. If it is a baby. Does it have a good survival rate?

I could not really tell from these pics. You'll want to try and take pics for help under bright white light in the future.

RFAs are pretty hardy critters generally.

After turning on my lights for the first time today, it definitely looks like it's melting away. Should I try to save it or get it out of there? I'm wondering with my clown constant trying to lay on it at night, if it became stressed.
