 Topic: RBTA question
Posted: May 15 2015 at 6:58am |
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.

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  |

Not trying to thread Hijack just give an interesting observation but My RBTA was long with My Halides but now with my new LEDs is Bubbling which I found interesting and noteworthy

Huskers, depending on where you're based at. I'd be happy to help you reduce the number of anemones you have :)
