The biggest sign that one is splitting... is instead of seeing just one anemone.. you see two.

i was gonna say that but... someone was a faster ass than i!
signs of a splitting anemone are when it's expanding bigger than normal. when it's expanding sideways and forming an oval, or figure 8 shape. when its mouth is stretched more than usual.

Well, I really dont understand it, but the thing has been so healthy and now it appears all shrivelled up and dying.

One of my condy anemones spit. A week or so before it split the mouth became very long. A couple of days before it split, the disc portion of the anemone became less round and more shaped like a figure 8. The day that the anemone split, it retreated to a dark creavice and didn't come out for three or so days. The next time I saw it, there was an extra one.
