Two Headed BTA

[Ploppers]

My bta split back in August and one of the clones grew two heads. I noticed tentacles growing from the side of it after the split and they just kept growing. Now both are about the same size. I thought they would have split by now, but they seem quite happy together. Has anyone seen this before?

Here's a bad pic of it in my sump.

nope interesting. Splits can take very long time I have seen big bta's that have taken 2years to divide in other people tanks.

whoo. so it really doesent have a foot? how does it 'plant' itself in the rocks? want more pics please!!!!

It does have one foot for both heads.

I moved it back to the display a few days later. It's still attached to the rock in the picture. It's only walked around the rock once since I put it back in the display.

Both heads have a mouth and will eat silversides.

Here's some more pics I just took. The main lights aren't on yet. Don't mind the coraline I plan on cleaning that later today.

You can see the dividing line between them in this poorly focused shot.

You can see the two headed on in the front left corner and the original in the center hosting my true percs.

If I have time I'll try to get some better pics when the lights are on.
