Anemone splitting!?

[ianryd]

I think my RBTA is starting to split! It seems to have 2 separate feet on 2 separate rocks. Is there anything special I need to do or look out for? Or just sit back and watch the show?

Sit back and watch the show.

Just be aware they tend to move after they split, so if you have any coral near by you may want to keep a close eye on them.

Ok, no coral super close, but i will watch them closely. I have the next 2 days off so it shouldnt be a problem

Well, it split last night! I was surprised at how fast. This was a first for me and was quite exciting to experience.

Once they seem to settle should I offer food? Entice them to stay put?

I usually don’t but I’d say that’s up to you.. regardless of getting food they will find a spot that they feel best suits them.

I would not feed them right after a split, it takes energy to digest that could actually stress them, and possibly even split again
