I think my Anemone is eating its own tubes. Is this possible? One of it's tubes are in its mouth. I will post a pic soon.

My BTA's do that occasionally, but the tentacles don't ever look damaged. I think they're catching and eating copepods when they do it. Finger-lickin' good LOL.

Do the tentacles look damaged after it's done this? If not I wouldn't worry.

What kind of anemone is that? Its hard to tell based off the picture you provided. Your anemone is also bleached btw.
