Is this normal behavior for a bubble tip

[carribear]

I was gone for three days and when I came home my bubble tip was wide open. It ate this morning when I fed it, but I have just never seen it sit open like this. Am I just being paranoid or could there be somehting wrong? Water params are within normal limits and everyone else is doing fine. I have had the anenome for just over a year.

Looks like a healthy anemone to me. Never been sure what the white spots meant but seen those on plenty of healthy BTAs so I never question if that was a problem or not.

Nothing wrong with that specimen at all. Looks quite healthy. Nice mottled coloration, as well.

Thanks! I have just never seen him stay open so wide for so long. Maybe he's just happy and hangin' out! Thanks for the responses.

Could it be splitting????

So I read a few things and just keeping watching. It looks healthy, but it seems to be pulling out of it's home that it has had for the past year. My Pink Skunk Clown that always uses it for a bed is homeless tonight. It also keeps like forming this bubble where it's stomach is but it inflates and deflates often. I guess I will just keep watching, but if you know what a splitting anenome looks like, I would like some advice. It has trippled in size in the past 8 months.

If it has suddenly started to move (assuming nothing else has changed), it may very well be preparing for a split. My old anemone (different species) would inflate like a gigantic balloon shortly before spawning.

I've seen some split. Watch the foot if they go differ directions...hes beginning to pull himself apart. Normally they go in hiding when they do this.

I watched my rose do this.
