My RBTA Split!

[windyridge]

My RBTA split this AM. I saw a clown in each one. They are both stuck to the glass. Since we are in the process of setting up our new tank, I was thinking I will initially place all the corals on the sand in the new tank, place the RBTA on a rock in an area I think he will like and wait for him to settle down or choose his spot. Now I have to do it for two. Will they settle near each other I wonder? I suppose if the conditions are right for one, they will be right for the other. Should I place them together?

Sorry about the bad pic.

I had a RBTA split 2.5 weeks ago or so, and they stayed right next to eachother actually looking like the parent originally... This morning, I woke up to find the clone on the backside of the rock close to some of my SPS...

At this point, I'm letting the clone find a spot and setup shop.. Maybe I can turn this into a 'nem tank Don't touch them unless they are posing danger to something, or you want to remove it completely.

I will have to move them both in about a week to the new tank. It's so neat to have two of them now.

How big was it before the split? any thoughts on what made it split?

It was about 8 inches. It might have been the clowns finally sleeping in it that made it split? Otherwise no parameters changed that I know of.
