    Doooh! :O Looks like a tentacle that turned inside out!

    Personally, I'd not mess with it. Anemone have a strange way of taking care of themselves. I've had them bounce back nicely after getting too comfy with power heads etc. If you notice any other additional signs of stress, or injury, I'd ask others with more experience in anemone.

    It looks like it's reproducing by fragmentation. Sweet bubble coral!

    Some large corals have parts that "drip off" or "sluff away" in order to reproduce... kind of like a natural way of fragging it's self.
