hi guys! This morning I was wondering is there a way to get bubbletip anemones to split without cutting them? And if so how? And do anemones breed? And do they have to be a certain size to split or breed if they do breed? And can a 3-4 inch bubbletip anemone split or breed? Thanks in advance!

Get yourself some frozen shrimp and/or littleneck clams from a grocery store. Thaw a chunk or two and feed them. I started with 2 RBTAs now have 16+ and I feed them weekly. Been giving away the offspring...

Mine split into 3 different anemones after a problem in my water Change system lowered the salinity from 35.4 to 34. I also have been feeding the rbta but I think the salinity change did it.

^ same as above

heavy feeding. Salinity change or temperature change. Anything that causes stress will make them split.

it’s nice to have more than one. But when you get past 50, they become a nuisance.

Your tank is brand new. If they split its because of stress and a bad thing. Have patience.

Generally it's recommended to have a tank around 9 months to a year old before trying to keep a nem.
