I didn't take pictures, but I can tell you I had a fully formed, miniature RBTA attached to the underside of one of my clone's oral disk. This fully formed "bud" eventually pinched off the parent clone. It was not a "split."

RBTA has second mouth/tentacles/column growing from side

If it was fully formed, then it doesn't sound like it was a bud. Just a smaller clone. Wiki defines bud as an 'outgrowth.' Did you see anything that looked like a small outgrowth or nodule that eventually turned into a full Bta? A small clone is not considered an outgrowth as it is already a fully formed lifeform.
You're arguing semantics, not biology. Splits, by definition and experience, involve the mouth of the parent clone, as well as splitting siphonoglyphs between daughter clones. this didn't happen. The bud formed as an outgrowth of the outer wall of the anemone.
Believe what you will. I'm finished.

You clearly stated in your first post that BTA don't bud, but then you say you have seen them bud, and budding not a scientific term? Did that come from wikipedia as well :rolleye1:?

You deny it in the previous statement. Also budding is a scientific term.
Back on topic: Pictures would be great, would love to see.
I have some pics, I will get them uploaded.

Not true. I said the term 'bud' is not scientific or accurate when describing the reproduction of btas. I never denied the phenomenon of a bta reproducing a clone as the op described. I have seen it myself. Please read carefully before replying.
*Sigh*
When I saw that you replied, I was hoping you'd just admit your mistake and we can all just happily move on.
Yes, it's very clear that you don't believe 'budding' is a scientific term, since you placed it in parentheses, but unless you meant something else entirely when you said 'Btas don't 'bud.'', that would pretty much mean that you don't believe that BTAs don't... well, bud.
Mate, it's not hard to admit one's wrong. No one knows everything, and it's not as if it's the end of the world. No biggie.
Anyways, OP: WOW that looks immensely cool! Though I knew BTAs budded from all the stuff I read, I've never seen pictures like that! Let us know when/if it breaks off of the main parent!
