BTA Issue

So yesterday I came home to see my anemones stalk(is that what its called?) kinda twisted. Has anyone had this problem? The anemone has been very healthy and has grown 3 fold since my purchase. When my MH light is on the anemone stretches up towards the light the (head?) gets extremely large and seems disporportional to its stalk. This just started a few days ago, and it was supporting it fine so i didn't think it was an issue.
Now i'm worried that this twisting will get worse and worse, anyone have any ideas?

Nope its normal... no worries. Actually its very common for a BTA to hide in a very secluded location and stretch waaaayyyy out for the light when it wants it. When I first got mine almost 10 months ago, it did that and actually twisted like yours in the process. Every night it would retract under its rock shelter and do the same thing the next day. The distance from its foot to its disk was approx 8 to 10 inches its flesh in between was litterally 1/2" thick thats how far it stretched.

That is exactly what it is doing. It is fine at night because it retracts back to the cave - then in the day it stretches way out and twists sometimes.
Thanks dark!
