My Rose Bubble Tip Anemone has yet to have bubble like tentacles since I got it over a month ago. Shortly before receiving the anemone the previous owner told me it had split, mine being the mother.

I got a fire red shrimp also about a month ago and it has molted three times already.

Last night my anemone split and my shrimp molted. Is this coincidence or is it a sign? I don’t know if it’s good, bad or irrelevant.

I have a 10 gallon nano tank that I started a couple months ago. I used live rock from my main 75 and CaribSea Arab-Live as substrate. I have a Fluval Sea blower and a small box filter hooked to an air stone. My corals are doing amazing. I have 2 clown fish and an engineer goby along with a few shrimp and snails.

I did a 30% water change Monday and started using Coral Essentials recently. I have been feeding flakes, frozen mysis and baby brine.
 
The shrimp is growing still, other wise no molt
The nem will be an issue . How many can your tank hold if it keeps splitting. Once a month is 12 per year

That tank can maybe hold one more split but I have a 75 than I could move some too and I have lfs and Facebook groups I could sell or trade to.
