propogating rbta

What survival rate does everyone have cutting RBTA with a razor blade dendroman

I am not sure of the survival rate to be honest but maybe someone will chime in who has cut quite a few.

I have been in the coral buisness for years everything just seems to be going up and up on prices and am always looking for ways to help our natural reef rbta are always on demand so just looking for some advice out there thanks for any input dendro

There should be a post somewhere in the clownfish&nem forum with a video from BRS showing how to cut them. I am on the fence about if I want to or not, my rbta is about 10 inches across but I dont want to risk losing the whole creature either. From what I understand so long as your process is right the survival rate is pretty high, they suggest using the sharpest razor you can get and not sawing through but using enough pressure to make a clean cut directly through the mouth. I'll try to dig up the thread and put a link in here for you.

Both Anems made it without any problems? I have 3 rbta and 2 green and was thinking of splitting them for my 300 reef upgrade
