Strange Growths in RBTA Tentacles
Was looking at our RBTA this morning and noticed some white, thread-like growths inside a few tentacles. They could have been there for days or weeks for all I know, but I just noticed them today.
Anybody have any idea if this is normal or if there is something wrong with the RBTA? TIA  120g BB tank 2 x 175w 10,000k MH 4 x 65w PC actinics alk 12 dkh Ca 460 ppm Mg 1370 ppm 80 F located in a lower flow area minor adjustment to rock it is on yesterday 15% water change and regular maintenance yesterday Circled areas indicate some of the tentacles affected....  Close up of one of the affected tentacles...

Pic was taken with a flash. Camera is a Nikon Coolpix 8800 VR. Unfortunately, zoom is telephoto not optical, so I can't get good shots of corals further back in the tank.
Anybody know about the stringy growths?

Murray,
The stringy things are on the inside of the tentacle. Is that the same as your condy?

Hmm. Never heard of an anemone shedding
Don't know which is worse, strings inside or the anemone shedding  I also asked this question on RC and have just now received a couple of replies that said it was nothing to worry about. Feeding day is tomorrow. Will have a closer look at it then.
