I have had one of these anemoes in my tank for almost 6 years with absolutely no sign of it splitting (they are known not to split in captivity, unlike BTAs).
During a recent reaquascaping of my tank, the anemone was moved attached itself to 2 rocks. One of the rocks was close to a ledge and kept falling off, stretching the anemone. Every day I repositiioned the rock back on the ledge and every day the rock again fell off. Finally I stopped repositioning the rock on the ledge. The anemone began to stretch until the rock was almost on the bottom of my tank. Then the anemone began splitiing.
Perhaps gravity could be used to propagate these anemones in captivity similar to above. One technique could be :
1. Get the anemone to attach to multiple rocks (not very difficult)
2. Position the rocks near a ledge at the top of your rockwork
3. Move the rocks closer and closer to the ledge every day until one of the rocks hangs off of the ledge.
4. Let gravity stretch the anemone and hopefully induce it to split.
Enjoy the pictures below......
