This is an hour later. The anemone's foot is usualy on the underside of the rock in the photo. You can see where the part splitting on the left is slowly being pulled down by the piece of foot on the rock on the left. It's slownly pulling down.

Well, turned out to be a false alarm. I swear it looked like it was splitiing, but this AM, it was in one piece and looking just like it always does.
I'll just shut up now and stop pretending I know what I'm talking about

Maybe it did split and the clone is behind a rock or something?
