anemone propagation

[Scranton]

Cut my first anemone. Looks healthy 2 days later. Think its ready to put back into my normal tank.

What's the purpose of the container it's in out of curiosity?

 

[Scranton]

It's in a container inside my frag tank. If the nem melted it couldn't nuke my system. But it kept temp correct

There's a much higher chance for the anemone do die if there's not enough flow and it has to swim in it's own waste.
It would be much better for it to just put it back in the tank after fragging.
I wouldn't really worry about it crashing your tank. Unless it's a really small nano.

He was only in there one day. He is back now. The system is about 200 gallons total
Maybe more

What did you use. Razor blade? I always wanted to try but I didnt want to risk screwing up and killing my rbt. They are pricey.

 

[Scranton]

I used a scalpel but a good kitchen knife would have been better

 

[teishokue]

Why a kitchen knife? Wouldn't a razor or scalpel be more of a clean cut?

 

[Leishman]

I use a ceramic knife - its like a 5" razor

I hostly wouldn't keep it in that container even if it is a day. Atleast drill some holes into it for flow and some small rubble rock on the bottom would be best.

I feel real blessed I did a small water change the other day and came into my service side of my tank room (in wall tank) and saw that my bubble tip had split and two on it's own I heard that could happen with these little guys but didn't believe it till I saw it for myself

 

[RainbowReefer]

Correct me if im wrong they do split by themself but its normally due to stress.

 

[Mrclayakasins]

Yes if they get stressed they can split in a last ditch effort to survive, but I have never seen it happen until now and with a 5 gal wc in a 110 gal system and useing a slow ato pump to add it, I think it split because it was extra happy lol I hope, but both are happy and looking good
