Traveler's got it. Easy, Easy! There gonna slime up on ya but dont let that scare you. They spilt in the wild when they are tramatized. After doing mine I got the impression they are hardier than people realize. They are like simple celled creatures they can survive alot of trama even being cut in half. Clowns even eat at their tenticles from time to time. No big deal.

Yup--pull it out of the tank (gently without ripping obviously), put it down on a clean cutting board, use a razor/scalpel/very sharp filet knife and cut from the mouth outward, then do the same on the other side making two equal halves. I've done a bunch myself this way and seen more done by Mr. Calfo and others, and you'll be amazed at how quickly they recover. The important thing is to make a nice celan cut--jagged or crushed edges are asking for infection. Nice clean cuts heal well. Don't get scared--at first they look pretty icky, but within a day or so each half closes in on itself to form a new mouth. Friends in my club have been propagating BTA's this way regularly. Go for it!
