I have one that splits naturally nearly every month. It gets fed 1 jumbo shrimp over the course of a week. Quarter size babies? Then you have to grow them out... The clones that are produced off of this animal are 6-8" and ready to host mature clowns. Anthony Calfo made a great point at MACNA, which was that you can get much better yields down the line if you grow out a mother colony/specimen and either let it reproduce itself or wait before cutting than if you start cloning a young specimen.
If the 'nems are sold small, consider that RBTA's will most often be killed by clowns if they are paired when below 4". The clownfish's natural inclination to host in the 'nem prevents the 'nem from opening and getting necessary light and water flow, starving it. Food for thought.
