Clones!

My Bubbletip anemone just cloned!
This is definitely a first for me and i can't say it was expected.. My 50gal tank is about six months old, with a 4-inch tailbar lionfish and a one-inch domino damsel the only fishes. I have kept it as low-maintenance as possible so i didn't expect this. My domino damsel has also been hosting in the anemone for a while, which has been very cool.
I've been giving the anemone silverside meat every now and again, lately when my lionfish has refused it. (By the way, does anybody know of any tricks to get them eating non-live foods?) All of a sudden, two anemones! =)
So what do i do now? just leave them to it? do some work to improve conditions? and will they clone again?
Feedback appreciated,
Oscar
 
Not sure about your anemones...I'd say, just enjoy it. I've heard that dominos will nest in anemones while young, but will move away as it matures. Your lionfish is tricky. I don't keep one, but have heard many stories about trying to feed them...it's difficult by all reports. someone once suggested trying to tempt them with live fish on a feeding stick, then gradually working down to dead fish on a feeding stick, then dead fish dropped in the tank, then whatever. Good luck!
