My BTA
... is getting new tentacles! They started out as bumps closer to the center of the anemone and now some of them are quite long. I think it is probably at least 33% bigger than when I got it.

I love seeing my tank thrive! The anemone sometimes wraps around my clown until you can't even see the fish!

To give you some perspective here is another shot that shows the relationship between the anemone and the xenia. It was taken about a month ago.

Is that a precursor to splitting?

from my experience, that is the way they react before splitting. the new tentacles will be about where the split will take place.

Is there anything I should watch for or do?
I think it has been pretty happy, it hasn't moved since I put the rock it is on in my tank.
