How to get RBTA to split more often

[Nht8134]

Hey all. Ive had my RBTA for about 7 months now and it has only split once and that was 3 months ago. How do I get it to split more? I feed it once every 3 days with raw table shrimp and he loves it but I was wondering if theres anything else that I should be feeding him or is that good enough. Thanks

Why do you want it to split more often? I have read that if an anemone splits too often.. it isn't good for it.

I get my rose to split once every other month by feeding it every day, either mysis or really small chunks of silversides, alot of the time twice a day. Just a couple mysis or one real small peice of silverside. Also, keep all parameters stable, that is really important. I have got some rose anemones that came to me tiny and bleached and within a month and a half fully recovered and already split once.
fwiw

you could try propagating them yourself, more and more people are doing it; please check out this thread.

hey seaflowers thanks for the link. Very interesting about slicing the anenome yourself. Wish I had the guts to do that.
