Hi,
I have a huge, seemingly very happy Condylactis anemone who hosts an anemone crab. We have him about 2 months now. recently I have noticed that he lost a tenticle. I wasn't too concerned until I saw another one laying on the CC. When he is deflated at night, you can see that these tenticles came from the closest row of tenticles to the center of him. It looks like a 3rd is about to be 'pinched off".. Is this normal\??? he seems really really happy! he eats his cockels & brine shrimp, and he is always huge and lively.
Edited to add a photo, he is just waking up and is only half inflated, so I pointed to the two missing tenticles. One of them looks like a "bud", like it is growing again?
