My Flame Bubble Tip dropped a tentacle

[twinspots_goby]

I saw a tentacle of flame tip floating around days ago. I collected it and put it in a samll box with a small piece of rock. Today is day 3. I checked it in this morning and touched it with a stick. It stills moves and alive. Is it so wried to anyone? :squigglemouth:
I have never heard of anything about annemones dropping off a tentacle as a form of splitting.

Frank,
when i first got mine a year ago. it did the same thing! ( but i never saved it)but i was fine a week or so later..I actually sucked a few tips off when i was doing a water change with no ill effects..

I dont think it spliting! Think it might be stressed and tenicals are week IMO..

Not sure it will form a new Nem from one tentical...Ive herd of people cutting NEM's but you need part of the mouth for it to heal and become a new Nem...Im no expert, just sharing what ive herd

Hi Emoney. Thanks for your information. I complete agree with you. But since I alreay save it in a small box, we will see what happens in a few days. :)

Try and show the box and how you've tried saving the tentacle in your photos. I would appreciate learning from you about how your trying to propagate this.

Sorry. I fotgot about that. Story short, it didn't survive. But I did a silly thing. I forgot to put a mesh cover over the cup, and it might ended up sucked into one of the powerheads or a drain. It did survive 4 days in my tank. So I can't really tell if it died, or I killed it. I will make sure to do a better job next time.
