    What exactly are the parameters? What kind of lights? Your tank is too young for an anemone, IMHO

    What about your lighting situation? Do you not have a hydrometer/refractometer for SG? What about temp?
    I dont want to get you too worried, it might just be splitting. I have actually never personally seen one split. Hopefully others will chime in soon. But the more info we have the better we can help.

    I saw the lights, thats all good there. Your salinity is maybe a tad low, but shouldn't be causing any problems, I wouldnt worry about raising it too much. What about temp? What other creatures do you have in your tank? You can also try touching the anemone. Make sure its tentacles are still sticky, and that its not getting slimy

    ok temp is 80 no fish besides the clown touches it and some times cleaner shrimp walks over it to grab food. I just touch it like u said its not sticky but i gave it some squid earlier stuck right on there.

    i would slowly raise your salinity up to about 1.025-1.026, and i would get a magnesium test and kh/alk test.

    and cool anemone!, ive never owend one so i cant tell you what hes doing.sry
