accidentally stressed my bta into splitting

[Ploppers]

I believe stressed my bta into splitting. It was about 8" accross when it happened. I moved my rocks around a bit and it changed the flow so some of it's tentacles were getting twisted up like a balloon animals. A couple of them even fell off. I changed the flow a bit so it wasn't spinning them up so bad. Several days later I thought it was dead. It almost looked like it was starting to decompose. Then the foot walked out from under the rest of it. :eek1: I thought about removing it, but figured I'd wait just to be sure. The next day the top half looked better than it did before I moved the rocks (only smaller). The other half still looked terrible. It looked all torn up with just a couple tentacles. Again I figured I'd wait and see what happens. Within a day or two I could see more tentacles forming.
It's been a couple weeks now and the first one is growing quickly (not being fed still) and the second one actually looks like an anemone.
I think the second one may split again. In a spot where it was torn near the foot, it's growing some tentacles.

I'll see if I can find some pictures tonight.

Anyone else have an anemone split like this?

A couple of days after moving our 8" GBTA from one tank to another, it split into three. We were very careful not to damage the foot when placing its rock in the new location. I think the change in water parameters, lighting and water flow, plus the size of the GBTA made it split. Have already found new homes for the clones, too

Nice. I'm waiting to see if the second one is going to split or not before I decide what to do with them.
I want to try and move one over to my true perc. pair's host "rock" and try and convince them to host an anemone.

The pics of the anemone split turned out really bad. So no pics.

Here's a pic before the split. The color is off, it looks much more green and tan in person.

here's one from about a week or so before split.
