    Bubble Tip Anemone

    I have a BTA that has split into two different anemones. I was wondering how I can duplicate this process again. I would like to sell the clone or daughter anemones back to my local pet store to make a little money to support my reefing habit.

    First off Congrats on the split. Second, Just keep doing what your doing, keeping it fed and healthy and growing and it may split again. It all depends on the anemone of course and when its ready.

    Some people split them by cutting them up but I would not try it on mine.

    Cutting my anemone into two has never crossed my mind and I defintely would not feel comfortable doing so, but thinks for the tip

    I've cut several BTA Not for the light of heart, for sure, and it doesn't always go well. Ray is right, just take good care of it, keep your water quality great, and feed it, and it will eventually split again.
