Budding or healing H. magnifica in this pic?

Does this mag appear to be...
- budding
- healing from a likely recent split
- or both?

Here is also an update on how yellow the tentacles are becoming over the past few months.

Looks like a scar from an old injury to me, but who knows?

all of my ritteris have always had that line, implying they have healed from a split. great looking anemone though!

Currently, there is a small mass of anemone base and tentacles that seems to be separating on its own and moving to

the u shaped area near the line in this picture.

The anemone seems to be a male. Perhaps he is budding?
