RBTA Twisting off tentacles

[CoralShop]

Anemone is HUGE, very happy eats constantly, all tests are in ideal range. The current seems to be causing the anemone to sort of fold under slightly..
The tentacles seem to slowly 'twist' off but I never see them floating around, I feel like he may be eating them. I just see nubs where tentacles used to be.
Any ideas?

Feed more?

I feed it every 2 days

Hmm Never had a Nem do that and i had heavy flow

It's probably just withdrawing the tentacle. Nothing to worry about.

Ive had some that loose a tentacle every now again and have even seen a clown nip one off occasionally....so nothing to worry unless its progressively getting smaller, looisng color, or not eating.

I agree, especially if you're only seeing 1-3 detached tentacles. If more than ~6 or so tentacles I'd be more concerned.

BTW, how long have you had your anemone? Also out of curiosity, what's your salinity and is it constant or does it fluctuate much?

4 months, salinity is 1.025~6, very constant (ATO).
Tank is about a year old very well established.

Mine will loose one every now and then... I would not worry about it.

Mine have lost 3 or so in about a year. Not entirely unnatural.
