Ok so I bought one Rose BTA a few yrs ago, and accidentally got an Acid Rain Anemone from as a hitchhiker in a coral purchase. While beautiful, these Acid Rain Nems are dividing like crazy. I picked up a couple little baskets a Wmart the other day in the off chance one move to the glass. I managed to get one in the basket, but this morning, it is no longer in there. How do you keep them in the basket?

TY

Keep a bit of your basket above the water line.
You can put a bit of gravel or smashed up coral rubble
Make sure they have some flow through the basket

Congrats - that's a good problem to have! :)
Not always. Some split due to good water, some split due to bad water. But when they do start splitting, it's fast lol. I started with 1, and now a few months later I have 7, 3 of those 7 are splitting currently. It's becoming an issue lol

My recent $300 purchase just split last week. So do I have $600’s worth or $150 each? lol

Those Acid Rain ones are colorful so ain’t too bad of a “problem”. I’m always hopeful that I have your problem…
