Anemone Splitting

[goldenhurricane2]

I have a rainbow bta and it has split twice over the past couple of months. However, the green bta near it hasn't split at all. Is this something I should worry about or is it just normal?

 

[Reeferdood]

Normal, they will split when they are ready...
I have found that if you place another small rock near them, they tend to split more....

 

[goldenhurricane2]

So do you just keep letting them split and stay in the aquarium or do you move some out?

 

[Reeferdood]

Your call, I sell mine and make a buck or two....:)

 

[goldenhurricane2]

Haha that's kind of what I was thinking - do yours bubble up or are kind of dangly and stringy? Mine seem to all have lost their bubbles as they have become bigger

 

[Reeferdood]

No,
Mine still have nice bubbly tips...

Here's a picture so you can see what I'm referring to:

Lighting?

I have a 55 gallon tank with two 16in sb reef light basics (around 15% white, 30% blue) and supplemental dual t5 fixture with two ATI Blue+ bulbs.

Nice looking nems. I may be wrong but seems some variations split more than others. Also some say feeding or stress can cause more splitting. They look healthy and happy so I wouldn't worry about it much. But selling em gets you extra cash as said already. If you were close I'd buy one our clown needs a nice nem lol.

Thanks! If you were in Oklahoma, I'd be happy to help you out.
