Are there BTA's that never split?

[Ardeus]

I have a dozen RBTA's and 1 orange drop. The orange drop has never split. It also has very different bubbles, the tentacles are like baseball bats. Are there BTA's that never split?

If they are happy and healthy they will all divide. That is how an immortal creature lives.

hard to say bc they r living creatures. most bta dont split unless stressed.

I am feeding the Orange drop every other day, but the only difference I noticed is that the tentacles are fatter.

Excessive feeding can actually induce a split due to stressing it, if a BTA is not splitting frequently that is actually a sign it's happy and healthy more than a BTA that splits often

This is bad advice.

 

[davocean]

Yeah, maybe not so much bad advice as an incorrect claim or observation, animals that live a very long time and lack predation just do not need to reproduce often normally.

I recently had to move all the fish into a hospital tank due to brooklynella and I began overfeeding that specific anemone to compensate for the absence of fish and trying to induce it to split.

Whether because there's no fish or because I'm overfeeding, the orange drop looks happier (fatter and doesn't always deflate at night like all the others).

I never tried having the orange drop next to the other ones because they're so different that I think that they won't get along well.

I wouldn't really stress it from my experience most don't split unless put under some type of stress. They use the splitting as a way of staying alive in bad conditions. Just let her grow maybe in time she will split maybe not

Understand that thinking, but really as light is their main source of energy they do not need to be spot fed at all.

The fish will only return in 45 days and I am trying to keep the bacteria population stable so that I don't go through a cycle when the fish return. That's why I chose to overfeed that anemone.

I don't like the idea of cutting it at all and the most I am willing to do in terms of stressing it, is feeding it more than it's used too while the fish are away.
