Wow!! That is a beauty you have there! Congrats! I say move everyone else out into a new tank and give him free run of this tank. :) I read that some nems split under stress (although I'm sure that's not the case with all of them) so maybe you should give yourself a pat on the back for your guy being so happy. :)

My anemone has been growing rapidly and it has a thing for my powerheads. It takes way too much room in my tank and I can't have corals near it because it stings everything. I was even thinking about giving it away to someone with a bigger tank. Do anemones eventually split? if so, is there anything I can do to help that process?

I tried but his foot is big and I couldn’t get it to move and when it moves, it does it at nighttime.

I want it I'm in Tennessee and it would need to be shipped. I'm sure shipping it won't be cheap because of its size. If you are willing to ship give me a price so I can take that beauty off your hands.

I haven’t attempted to remove the anemone yet. I’m planning an upgrade and I will be removing it then

It's been a while since anything was said about that huge anemone. Just curious what ever happened to it?
