Thank you all for the great info. But, I have an update... Not really
sure yet, but it looks like the anemone is actually splitting. I fed
it a piece of a minnow and it looked like the small deflated side was
actually branching off from the main trunk. That would be cool if it is.

yes, it would be cool :-)

So far in my new tank, I have had a starfish (really small, dime
size) split and a cleaner shrimp has molted like twice in a week or
twos time, and the cleaner shrimp has real nice colors and seems happy.
Not sure if the molting a lot thing is good or not but Im guessing it
probably is.

I had a pair of "skunk cleaner shrimp" (Lysmata amboinensis)
and they were mating in my tank regularly (hemaphrodities).
Each of them molted regularly once every two weeks synchronously
to each other, so when one was molting, the second was acting as
a male and fertilize its mate, then after about a week situation
reversed and the shrimp carrying eggs from a week ago acted
as a male to the shrimp which molted and received fertilization
from her/his friend... Ocean creatures are weird :-)
I do not know what kind of cleaner shrimp you have and how good
or bad it is molting so frequently - if I had to guess it is generally
not good unless they are small, not adult yet and growing very fast...
