Rock Flower Anemone - Long White String From Mouth

[Eclyps19]

I’ve had this guy for several months now, has been doing great. Target feed it mysis about 2x per week. When I woke up today, I saw this long slime-looking string coming from its mouth. It appears to be fairly white, and I am just assuming that it’s slimy. It looks a bit like when I saw a small snail get trapped on a heater and die, so maybe it just ate a snail and that’s the snail’s slime being expelled? Just want to make sure it’s not anything to be too concerned about.

False alarm. I reached in to feel it and I’m pretty certain that they were antennae. I’m assuming one of my shrimp shed and the RFA thought that it would be a good idea to eat that.

Following. Other than the tongue, it looks very healthy.

Just a very long tooth pick.

That was my first thought. Sometimes they grab the entire molt and then it's more obvious.
