Anemone Split

[SDReefer44]

How long should a splitting take? I think my rbta may be doing so, but its been looking that way for 1.5 days now.

Thanks!

It's usually done in a few hours. Either your anemone isn't splitting, or it's in serious trouble. Splits that last longer than a day generally don't end well.

I have to concur.

Heck I watched one of mine (( years ago )) split, think the whole thing took less then 15 minutes. Really wish I had a camera back then.

I'll see if I can drop some photos to see what you guys think. Hopefully its nothing serious!

My anemone has decided to hid itself in the back corner of my tank. Hopefully he's OK and this was all a false alarm.

I'll get pics up as soon as he makes an appearance.

Do certain breeds of anemones split more than others?

I could be wrong, but to the best of my knowledge BTAs are the only ones that I am aware of. (( Haddonis will "bud", which I wouldn't consider a split. ))

H. Mags sometimes clone by splitting, but bta do it with more frequency.
