Tomorrow I'm going to be getting a Nexus Burst Anemone that is practically a perfect 50/50 Rainbow/Red and Green Anemone. My question is, has anyone ever tragically had a Nexus split to where you were just left with a plain ol Rainbow BTA and Green BTA?

seems to be a consensual feeling of it not being a true graft. Probably not likely it would split back into two specimens.

I believe the people who initiated this line tried their best to manually split the clones. That is why some clones are more expensive than others. The nearer to 50/50 the more expensive, especially with multiple area of green and red. At least that is how I would price them if I have them.

I started with one that was almost a perfect 50/50 split around a year or so ago and now have 7 or 8 of them. There are at least 3 which are completely green/teal colored and the rest are a mix of both. I have yet to get an all orange one.

The splits are completely random and each one is subject to further change if splitting again. The original one I have that was about 50/50 at the start is more like 75/25 green/orange now.

When the split they seem to tear wherever they tear and that is what you get - I have never cut one so can't speak to that
