Well it definitely is splitting. no doubt about it. not always a good thing. anemones often spit if there are abrupt changes in the system water (Temp, Salinity.etc). keep your system stable and anemones well fed and they will grow big in no time.
 
Nothing has changed in my system

Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Ph 8.4
Phosphate 0.09
Temp 79.8
salinity is 1.024

And this is what it has been i have two more nems and they are doing fine . I have heard if they split it could mean they think they are dieing or they are really happy eather way i will be keeping a close eye and keeping you all posted
 
i had a rbta that split into three. i sold one and still have the other two and they are doing great. just let nature take its course. they will heal on their own.
 
Ok the split is all done both the RBTA look great . This was a fast split i was thinking it would take at least a day .

Congrats! BTW, NEVER say "I'm sorry for all the picts" haha, we LIVE for those! :)


Thanks well here is an update the two RBTA look great the small one has gone under a rock I'm thinks that the maroons are loving it just a little too much . But looks great I will post some MORE PICS when I get home
 
A lot of the time they will go under or in the rocks to heal all of the way. Just give it sometime and it will be back out. By the way great job on taking all of the pictures of it splitting.
