Do Hellfire Anemones split?

[Eatfrenchfries]

I've been waiting to pull the trigger on one for a long time and the opportunity is finally here but just wanted to confirm because I've heard mixed things from other reefers.

Anyone who's had one, do they split? I can handle one monster but if there ends up being more I don't know if I can offload that.

Someone somewhere would take your split, *IF* it happens for you... If you've been waiting, I love that you are long term planner, but you also shouldn't miss this opportunity *IF* you really want it, if you are ready for it now, and if it is healthy.

These might help you find people local to you, when day comes for baby to get new home (post split):

It's because the vendor I was looking at has a hellfire anemone and a hemprichii which are both very cool imo but the feeding response is what points me towards the hellfire
