Default Green BTA

Hello, I have a green BTA, and well over the last week, he has been acting wierd. It seems like there was a mass about of tencales that came from somewhere. He also has been showing his foot out alot. I am wondering if he is getting ready to split? He is kind of big, and I got home from someone else, so I have no idea how old he is. The tenacales are all different sizes, you can tell some are just starting to some out or form from around the edge. He has has alot of small bumps all around the out side of the edge, looking like more tencales starting to come out. Any one have any idea.

Does it have 2 mouths forming or already formed on it?

Or could it be from questionable water params? (you mentioned the hair algae earlier)

Stress (from the move) will induce splitting in an anemone, survival kind of thing. You should see it attaching it's foot to two different places if it is.
