RBTA Reproducing/Cloning itself

IvanL · Oct 29, 2020

My RBTA grew a second foot. Didn’t split like one would think but grew a second foot on one side that is attached now. Only showing one mouth on the original foot. So will a new mouth grow on this new foot? Insane! Just happened today.

Anyone had this happen?

Yes, the mouth will eventually form on the second one, congrats on the split.

Thanks! Will post pictures post split. Crazy to watch as this morning it was all normal and sometime an hour ago it got bigger and when I was feeding and turned flow off I saw the second foot attached.

I had one a few years ago and it split constantly. Probably due to my lack of experience in my case. All the other ones grew fine. I'm lucky now because my new one I bought a couple months ago has stayed put and quadrupled in size. Anemones are like honey badgers. They just do what they want lol. All will be fine
