Huge BTA

[wmilas]

I bought a brown/green BTA about a year ago from DD. He traveled around the tank for a week, found a rock and proceeded to grow. A pair of clowns decided he looked nice and started to host in him.

Fast forward a year. Hes the size of a basketball. I kid you not. Tonight I decided to take a closer look at him and I realize that even though hes only got one foot, hes got two separate mouths. He faces backwards in my tank so I never noticed it before.

Is he in the process of splitting? Hes never split before, just grown larger. The reason I ask is that each mouth and surrounding tentacles are about the same size... doesn't look like a smaller one is splitting off.

I'm very confused

Pics would be nice. I had a RBTA at one time that had two mouths for a few months until I sold it with a tank and have no idea if it ever split.

I have seen some pics of BTAs with 2 mouths like here http://www.karensroseanemones.net/atwomouthrose.htm.
