RBTA Splitting multiple time

[combativeapologies]

Has anyone ever heard of a rbta splitting 3 times in 3 days! My RBTA went from about the size of fist too 3 the size of half dollars!

YAY! Congrats! That is exciting. If you are selling any of the splits, we'd be very interested.

Maybe a little later, I'm going to wait to make sure they all live. I have two clowns that are considerable bigger than the anemones. I'm hoping they don't bash them to death.
Now if I can only get the GBTA to split, it is the size of a dinner plate.

Chop it

Wish mine would do that. Its mother has done that - split 3 ways.

Yes, I heard recently of a RBTA that naturally split into 3 sections. I believe that it occurred after a large water change.

Just make sure your water quality stays up

while this is good news, check you water parameters carefully. Anenome division in home aquaria is often a sign, more so then not of unstable conditions. The only way to ensure they live is for them to split to increase their chance of survival during stressful times. I would make sure they have adequate flow, so that bacteria does not set in, and increase your photoperiod. Their mouth will take a week or two to fully heal and its thier only form of energy during this time. Addition of iodine will also help their recovery... and congrats...

I must have some stable water in my 100 gallon cube then, because I have two RBTAs, one I have had for over 1 1/2 years, and the other for a year at least, and neither has ever split. Actually doesn't bother me because at least right now they are staying put and haven't taken any walks towards my Vortech.

I know if it ain't moving I'm happy to.

It looks like my anemone is starting to split right now... should I be worried about my water conditions? I haven't tested in a few days, but they have been good....
