sunburst anemone propagation (manual)

Reefer.1

New member
Have had this anemone for over 5 months now and doing great so I decided to manually split her and do a right up. I have manually split multiple color morphs of bubble tip anemone before with great success.most important thing is to keep it feeding,happy and healthy in the tank for several months before manually splitting other wise halfe may perish if not all. Keep in a breeder basket until Heald (up to a month) It was Cut with a surgical scalpel from inside mouth out to disc on either side on 10/01/2012....1:52pm. And rinsed and sat in tank water for 30 min then placed in breeder basket .the more cuts the less the survival rate .I always cut in equal halfes , pics start on day of split and taken everyday/night and will be updated regularly.

Nice job! They look like great cuts! Such gorgeous nems as well!!

Oh did you buy that breeder box or build it? I have been looking for an acrylic breeder box that has a lid so the nems can't crawl out.
