Split my RBTA by mistake!! Repair or dying?

[PattersM]

I was moving some rock in my tank and hadn't realised my RBTA was bridged between two rocks.

I've pulled it apart!!! The larger piece appears to have reformed into a smaller anenome, while the other two parts have about 10 + tentacles on each part and grey material down one side of each piece. Is that the guts?

Are they all going to die or will they repair in time and if so how long would you expect it to take. This happened 3 days ago. All three bits are attached to rock and the two smaller pieces are in a plastic box in the main tank with some screen netting over the top to stop my perc clowns from touching them.

Should I put some holes in the box to allow some water movement?

Never had an anenome split before and didn't exactly plan this one.

if it is still sticking then it is a good sign. just make sure the mouth begins to heal (if the split at the mouth). and in a few days when they heal up try to feed them. Also once one splits its a good idea to do a water change, that will help them heal.

Should be fine. Just the usual advice, keep an eye on them. Be cool to see some photos ; )
