Is my anemone trying to split

[kenziejlooft]

I can’t tell if it’s trying to split because it looks deflated all day and like it’s dying but at night it inflates again
Temp 80

It’s been doing this about a week now
Last 2 pics are what it looks like when it’s inflated

It may split because it is clearly stressed and bleached. Spliting is a survival technique for anemones. Your tank looks very new and anemones almost never do well in a new tank, especially when set up with dry rock. Zero phosphates and nitrates are an issue. Almost all life on earth need both to survive. Anemones also use nitrate as a food source. I would return it to where you boughtbit if it looked like the bottom pics when you got it. Otherwise my suggestion is to have someone with a well established tank take care of your anemone if you can until your tank becomes established. This typically takes 3-6 months with live rock to 9 months with dry rock.
You can see the two smaller recent additions to my tank are slightly bleached, but otherwise healthy. They should be a vibrant purple.
