I left the house earlier today just after feeding my anemones, when I got home I found this :(

It appears as if air bubbles are riding up into the tentacles, any idea what's going on. It's just the one, the other two are just fine as seen in the back of the pic. It looked just like the others when I left the house today.

That is often the sign of a sick and dieing anemone. Anemones "swell up", same for tentacles with water. +90 % of some anemones is just from water pumping. What you have here are some gases being created inside the anemone and building up in the tips. They may get released through the tops of the tips. Often anemones "bleed" themselves of air and water. Think of it as a WC for them, old water out new water in but usually it is all done through the oral opening. Watch it very closely.
