I think my anenome split?? Help?

I noticed this in the evening, my anemone was in two separate parts, not sure what happened, if it split or what? My sexy shrimp wont leave it alone, but they never do, they host it.

Is that the same anemone it two different areas of the tank? Normally when an anemone splits the two halves stay next to each other.

yea its the same one.

Then I would say yes, it split. Did the one on the bottom fall or move there? Did the anemone show any signs of spitting?

congratz!

Im pretty sure that it moved there. Its still attached to the rock. They both seem to be healing, but the sexy shrimp are picking at it (the wound).

I wouldn't say this is always the case. Sometimes yes, but I've had the same anemone split and the clones stay right next to it, other times end up on the opposite side of the tank overnight.

My RBTA split recently and the clone was not right next to the original. It was close, but still in the cave next door. That looks like just a normal split to me. I would do a water change and do a little extra water changes over this next month to aide the healing. Congratulations on having two anemones now.
