I have 12 btas! Also have radion l.e.d's gen2 so if I put on lunar option mine should start splitting. Hmm im going to make sure this setting is now on. Hope it acts as if its a real full moon and I start seeing some splitting as my tank is an all anemone tank

No. Please do not start to think this is scientifically proven. I have never seen, experienced, nor heard about this previously to this thread.

I know it may not be proven scientificly. But I dont see any harm in trying.

Right, no harm, but don't expect it to work. Because it won't. Not trying to be negative, just a realist.

Correct, and some fish too. Just not btas.

What's unique about your tank is that it defies the laws of physics and nature.
Reason i ask is this has been going on for a extended period of time and is clock work (still not scientific proof) as physics is basically tied into nature just curious on picking your brain. You seem to feel extremely strongly on this topic and for me i have sat and watched multiple of these guy split in the middle of the night before (very cool by the way) as the full moons light hits the tank.
I personly think it would be great to have someone try and see if they could replicate this with a led module in there aquarium with the hopes of it even possibly working.
Just been 5 years of a repeating cycle is all.

You can send me 1 of your gbta and ill see if it splits from the radion lunar phase since it should be like "clock work" haha. By all means I would be interested but also have yet to experience this situation my self or noticed anything similar to a mass split athon between my nems. I know its not scientifically proven but would be awesome to see in person!

I have leds hooked up to a reef keeper that has lunar lights. Never once in 4 years have any btas split due to a 'full moon.'
I believe that what you are describing is not possible. I'm not denying that you might have btas that split, but I do not believe your original statment that EVERY full moon AT LEAST 25% of them split. I would love to see evidence that proves me wrong.
Well i guess thats were trust would come in to play. I win no awards for having a splitting anemone tank and lying serves no point due to the fact that im just trying to understand why this is happening. So i guess you will just have to trust me on this one. Just because its not happening in your tank doesnt make it a false statement.
It has slowed down in the past couple months due to the fact that we have let the bushes grow out and now cover the window. Have to trim them every spring.
So im sorry tatuaje08 that my tank doesnt follow your standards or aspect of reality as it applies to physics and nature. All i know is that every full moon they split. If its cloudy or the shades are down they may not split but when the moon hits the tank interesting things happen.

I used to have brown BTA's that would get to about 4 inches and split. The odd one would get to about 8 inches. I pulled out over 50 twice in 2 years and sold them, and finally had enough as they were killing all my corals. I honestly wondered if they were Majano's, but ID from multiple other sources said BTA.

I think the next full moon you should set a video up watching the tank and a bta split athon.

I'm interested as well. Perhaps day by day pics would also help to see the 30 day cycle, but I would not even have the time to do that if it was my tank.
