couldn't said it any better. 1smile1There are 2 reasons* that an anemone will split -- one is good and the other is bad.
If conditions are good and the anemone has extra energy it will take that extra energy into producing a clone -- to advance the species.
However, if conditions are poor, the anemone will take its last remaining bits of energy to split -- the purpose in being that the clone will be able to find better conditions.
* --- there can be short term poor/different conditions that cause a split; a newly introduced one, parameters are pretty different, a short term spike -- pH, temps, salinity, etc. I would still consider these as part of the 2nd reason -- not ideal conditions.
Similar causes will happen with anemones that only reproduce sexually -- have had an S. haddoni stress spawn in the past.
The important thing is to figure out if you had a good split or a bad one -- if a bad one, fix the situation.
When my RBTA makes a decision to move up the glass , Mr. MP40W ES has a lot to say to when its time for a split. Happens all the time . Now I just let him stay in the wetside and use one of spares for the flow
Came home today and my rose bta split. It was so beautiful and growing. I turned my ATO knob (manual) a little too open. 1 drip per 2 seconds and the salinity dropped to 1.017 from 1.027. So sick of this bobble ato crap. So I ordered a Black Friday Tunze osmolator 3155. Its been 6 months and I still cant figure out how exactly to tune this stock ato line in the Red Sea reefer 350. Its quite dry here in DT Los Angeles.There are 2 reasons* that an anemone will split -- one is good and the other is bad.
