Spliting an anemone

[pbukow]

Is it possible to induce? Are there any tricks or certain parameters that help kind of push this process along, or is it just let nature take its course?

Well, depends.
I've heard of inducing BTA's just by overfeeding.
I've also seen people cut nems in half successfully, though I personally wouldn't do that w/ mine.

Mine didn't split for over a year...my RBTA got about 8-10 inches accross..Once I started feeding it at least once a week with silversides instead of brine shrimp...it started splitting every 3-4 months....

In the last 2 months, I just started cutting them up. 1 rose i cut to 3 pieces---all healing fine. GBTA cut to 3 and all fine then i waited about 6 weeks and cut the biggest one in half and looks like so far its doing good. I was told the LFS do that all the time
