Ok so here's the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7BdqxW4ka0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7BdqxW4ka0</a>:confused2:
Is this real?
Can you do this without harming the anemone?!?

Yes you can, but it puts a lot of unneeded stress on the animal. Since your tank and your anemone are both still new, it would definitely not be recommended. It's a much better idea to just feed it plenty and make sure it's healthy. It will split on its own eventually.

I wasn't going to, I was just wondering if it could actualy be done. It seems so wierd that you can cut somthing in half and have it grow back to normal!

I had an anemone that had its foot wedged on two rocks -- there was a rock fall involving one of the rocks, and one half went with one rock and one half went with the other rock. I now have two anemones.

So that was an "accidental frag". It's a GBTA that I got as a WBTA (white / bleached) -- it's been months, and the most color I see on them is a faint lime green, but it happily eats and hangs out looking for more.

Calfo was talking about fragging 'Nems at MACNA...
