This may be kind of a dumb question but my RBTA keeps splitting I went from 1 to 7 sold 2 but still have 5 and only have wanted 1. Is this due to overfeeding? I don't even feed that much. They all seem to stay in the same general area don't move around, my clowns are hosting in 2 of them. Just looking for some general info, or what I should or should not be doing with them. Thanks!

A lot of people will tell you that splitting is caused by stress; but I have had anemones that have split multiple times, like yours – in the same tank with other anenomes that never split. I don't know if anybody's 100% sure on all the reasons for splitting. Just keep selling off the extras, that's what I did. ------------- - My Current Tank: 65g Starfire (sitting empty for 2+ years) - * Marine & Reef tanks since 1977 * |

Thanks Bob-- By the way the blue sponge that I got from you has grown like crazy in the last maybe 6 months for some reason!

Agree with Bob. We just don't know, yet. We also don't know why some retain their bubble tips and others have slender tentacles. Aloha  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Huskers, depending on where you're based at. I'd be happy to help you reduce the number of anemones you have :) ------------- Sure you are, you are Crappy Reef Club Member #1 -Chk4tix 6 gal nanocube 65 gal http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=78639&title=tims-65-gallon-build" rel="nofollow - build thread |
