I am trying to get a decent picture of the actual split site, but they aren't cooperating. If I get one I will post it.

Possibly, or maybe trade for some nice zoanthids... but I want to wait until the new mouths form and they are eating good so I know that they are healthy before I offer it up.

i just started keeping anemone's
i know you have heard this before but how do you get them to split???

[tontor33]

Well, I got the anemone as a clone from a guy that started with one and ended up with 8, so I think that it's already genetically dispositioned to want to split. I have heard that a stressfull event can cause them to split, but with this one I think that it was just it's time. It's mouth had been making an oval for about a week and puckering a bit and then it split. My other rose in the same tank didn't do that at all and is still intact. So I guess my answer is I don't know. Sorry.

Let me see how it all goes. If it goes well I would be willing to give it up, after it starts eating and I'm sure he's healthy.
