Or I have to rip the whole rock work apart and it does not worth it. So I will wait, or they will die back there...unfortunetly.

IMO, that is a poor attitude to have, shouldn't let something die just because you would have to move some rocks and you don't think it is worth it.

They do split due to stress/poor conditions. It is a survival technique; hopefully the split off anemone will be able to find better conditions.

+1. Not to mention if an anemone does die in your tank it can cause the whole tank to crash.

Thanks, my shock and disbelief made me forget about fouling the tank.

I agree with you Toddrtrex.

I agree with you guys but if i have to take the rocks appart i will kill much more corals with that. Otherwise I would save him. Not to mention if it would crash the tank...lets not to talk about this. And take it ease. Don't jump on me like that.

Try blowing it out with a powerhead, aim a powerhead into the area where the anemone is, if possible try to direct it so that the anemone will move away from the flow and out towards the light or an opening where you have access to it. I know it's a pain, but don't let it die. Where I live, livestock is very expensive and hard to come by, it saddens me at times to think of how livestock is plentiful in other countries yet many owners don't provide them with good care.

I've got a powerhead behind the aquascape and it blows right at them...they still wont move yet...i pray for them and hope they will get out of there...i hate to loose anything in my tank...this was my only cocern what if he will hide behind my aquascape and I can't get it out.
