Anemone Splitting

[sugi]

I had these red anemone for about 4 months. A few days ago it shifted from its favourite place. Today i realise i had 2 red anemone.

Can anyone advise me, is it common for anemone to split ?

Any particular reason for such happening ?

Just Curious!

Cool !!!!

By any chance you are letting go of the smaller one ?!!

Ozy,

Need to monitor its condition. The first picture of the anemone, its corner near the brain corals shows the splitting scar.

I hope they are doing well.

Need to make it healthy first before i can sell.

Congrats! The rose anemone will split/clone itself due to a few reasons:

1. Stress (yes, stress! Can be due to low oxygen, high temps, high pollution), water change or change in water parameters.

2. Natural growth (heavy feedings)

I like rose anemones but I can't trust them enough to stay put and not sting my corals.

I saw the splitting of the anemone on TV in NGC. It is pretty interesting as they sped up the 2-3 hour process into a few tens seconds. From the narrator, the splitting normally ends up with 2 identical anemones. Never thought that it is possible in a tank...

There is a way to propagate a rose BTA... frag it. It takes guts however... u take a very sharp razor blade and slice it in half.... both halves will recover and voila.. two rose BTA.

*Gasp* !!!

Never knew that can be done!

Maybe one of these days I will try on one of my other anemones.

Hee hee...

Or maybe I can convince the boss of topic marine to frag his luminous pink anemone in his display tank...

What do you guys/gals think?

[Achilles Tang]

Maybe he can put his rose anemone into his well-advertised 5 day cycled tank*.... the stress may cause his RBTA to split... or then again... maybe not!

*Someone tell me he is still not telling newbies this!
