I dont really understand nem's.  Are they alive?  I know they are somewhat an invert but do they feel pain when they get cut in half or are they more like a coral?  Seems like animal cruelty to me but i dunno Smile.

I had a RBTA that was being eaten by a Raccoon butterfly fish.  I tried to remove it from the tank but it was attached to two rocks and I ended up ripping it in half.  Both halves have survived and are doing really well.   I've found that RBTAs are very hearty and I've never killed one even after ripping it's foot to shreds trying to get it off a rock.

This one is with scissors:

I would suggest wearing gloves though.

You guys are sick... plain sick. There is no way I would ever do that to my baby. 



She stays the way she is... lovely and whole.

Oh and btw mine always stretches out and looks like she's about to split but never does. Don't worry about it, totally normal. 

And on the topic of propagating anemones, someone told me in order to get them to split you need to make life uncomfortable for them. Such as running the lights 24 hours on and 24 off. Does this even work or was this LFS employee full of crap?
