Rose anemone none spliter

[Zoom]

I'm still waiting for my Rose to split is now more than a year in my reef . Any one have a Rose BTA that never split?

[SeanT]

Why are you wanting it to split so badly?

[drewby07]

how often / what are you feeding it?

Money. Money.Money. Money.
the size that it is i can get ten clones of that one
But i think it will never split is a wild Rose BTA from Bali so I just keep moving my SPS

[cal3v]

Maybe you got one of the non-colonial non-splitting ones?

[arcab4]

i thought i remember reading there was a variation of rose that doesn't split or split as easily. ??

[Dlckwood]

I have the same problem as you. Mine also will not split. I am going to try selco for a while.

Don't know about splitting, but that is one NICE rose (and tank)!

I would kill for a healthy one that size. I can't find one at all.

LOL. This hobby is a money pit. Very few people will make money off of it. You might be able offset some of the electric and food costs, but you'll need a lot of splits before that happens. Good luck though!

Did you try a 60% water change? Worked on my rose. My roses are now just about big enough to do it again.

Ah, grasshopper.....do not laugh so quickly when Si-Fu Chipmunk is teaching....you must use your imagination.

Take 8 gallons out of your display tank and put it into a 20 gallon tank and fill the difference with new salt water.

Take your rose, rock and everything and put it into the 20 gallon tank. Voila, instant 60% water change.

After the splits, do a few water changes with display tank water until the 20 gallon has pretty much the same water as the display tank.

Move the new roses back to your display tank.

And you didn't even have to stress out your other tank inhabitants like so many other reefers do when they try the 60% water change technique in their main display tanks.

hey Zoom, is this anemone a clone?

[Zoom]

I don't know it is wild Rose BTA from Bali .

[cyclgrl]

Why does a massive water change make an anemones more prone to split?

[barebottoms]

Massive water change causes stress on the animal, stress has been reported (actually both are reported, but go hand in hand because on leads to the other) to cause a BTA to split.

[cal3v]

The drastic change often is believed to trigger splitting because of adverse changes and the anemone wanting to reproduce to try and guarantee as many offspring to survive as possible.
