of course you two are correct but think of it another way- if an increase in body mass equals growth, a split in tentacle tips can equal growth. Not only does body mass increase with each bifurcate tentacle but the anemone will also have a bigger surface area in which to catch food- and gigantea relies heavily upon planktonic foods IME.
the bifurcate tentacles on my gigantea are more numerous on the area it receives the most flow. This would seem to indicate bifurcate tentacles can develop from "normal" single tips.

Interesting... well, I didn't mean to imply it doesn't mean growth, I just don't think that's how they grow new tentacles. Well, maybe that's what it is, maybe it's one method out of several. (I asked mine about it and they just gave me the silent treatment. 
). At any rate, it's not a unique trait to this species, nevertheless it is still an interesting phenomenon.

That's simply breathtaking Gary.
Not only is your aquarium beautiful, but your photography skills are amazing. I don't think I've seen anyone take such spectaular pictures, especially of your clown fish as you have :thumbsup:

:lol: Yeah it's a bit warmer at the moment. We are coming into autumn, or fall as it's known in the States, so will be lucky to get a top of 7 degress here soon. It would be nice to see snow again, as it would be a nice change to the drought in Australia at the moment.

it retains blue hues in subdued lighting. In bright lighting it appears more silver.
