My largest healthiest RBTA has started looking bad after 2 years in the tank. It's normally open and happy. Is it splitting? No changes in water chemistry, no temp swings. Pictures below. All other anenomes in tank are open and healthy.

This what it looks like right now.

Thanks in advance for any info/help.

My nems typically look terrible before they split… they also look terrible when they’re pooping or throwing up rather. One of them will randomly deflate and look awful for a few hours every now and then. It seems to be a nem thing. As a reference I have a tank with about 20 bubble tip nems (rainbow and green) that split frequently and are all huge and beautiful.

How long has it looked like this? Nems can be weird and shrivel for no obvious reason. If it's only been a day or 2, my suggestion is to monitor but don't intervene and I think it will be fine.
