So I’m taking a conference call in front of the display tank today and see that my RBTA who hasn’t moved since I rearranged the rockwork in June is nowhere to be found. Seems for some reason it decided to go check out unlit portion at the back of the tank under the rockwork. Checked a few params, looked over all the coral in the display and plumbed frag tank and everything else looked great. I haven’t changed any flow or anything else recently either. At that point I figure it will come out when it’s good and ready and I’ll just have to keep an eye out and maybe move a few corals out of the way depending on where it pops up.
Two hours later I’m feeding the fish and can catch a glimpse of it near the overflow and I see two sets of tentacles, completely NOT connected. From what I have been able to find splitting is fairly traumatic to the Nem and its clone and I was wondering what if any special care I would need to take in order to help ensure the survival of both? I do currently have 2 Ocellaris in the tank but they haven’t been within a foot of the RBTA since they were added to the display in May so neither should cause any irritation to them while they are trying to heal.
Do they need to be fed more frequently (fed the original maybe once a month), more frequent water changes? Any guidance would be much appreciated as I’ve never dealt with this before.
