Im getting mixed thoughts here, i was told they only split because they feel as if there about to die so they split to help better there chances at living. im really confused. lol
Like ReefNeck said, some will split because of stress (for a better chance of survival) and others will split because they are healthy.
Also some bta's are more prone to split than others. I don't know what causes this but I have read that the bta's that are collected from the top of the reef (closer to the sunlight) are found in large colonies and split often, while anemones collected from lower in the reef (were less light) don't split often, rely on sexual reproduction, and usually grow large and are solitary.

mine was about 4-6" across and about the same tall when i got him as a month old clone. he grew to about 14=16" across and a foot tall (was hitting the water line!) then one day we came in to the office and he was two.
they were much smaller than half the pre-split size, but it was just being pulled in--they expanded to half pre-split in about a week. two months later they are both about the size he was before...i dont know what i'll do with four of them!!!
