Val Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I am new to the marine aquarium hobby, and OMG... today my anemone split into 3 separate parts! Is this normal? I knew they split, but it was a little shocking to see it in 3 pieces when I came home tonight. I would appreciate any info you could share with me about this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Just a way for them to propagate, its quite normal, but, can be brought about by undue stress. Throw up your specs on your tank, including all of your parameters and especially your lighting and the age of the tank an we'll see if there might not be an underlying factor into it splitting like that.

andy Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Some anemones are just crazy splitters. Do you feed a lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7Max-GTE Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Tell yours to split already, Clay, I'm dying for a RBTA and my clowns are too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 I don't feed excessively, but I guess I am still trying to figure out the appropriate amount to feed. I don't feed the anemone directly very often, but it has a clown and it feeds on other food I put in the tank. My Clown doesn't seem too stressed about it, he just gets in all three of them. A couple of months ago I took over the livestock from a neglected tank. I set up a 26 gallon Bowfront temporarily and everything seems happy and healthy. I will be changing over to a larger tank soon. I have a nice light fixture that has the halo, 4 blue Actinic bulbs and moon LEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Our RBT split into 3 last week... sometimes it happens If you can find a way to get them out, you can trade them for something sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
