Although I have never tried it, I have heard of great success with simply disecting the anenome right in half, with both halves having partail mouth. So long as the anenome was very healthy before and conditions are good they should heal with no problems.

I have done 100% water changes a number of times and my anenome just ended up looking happier :) so, not sure if thats a good method.

I would let the BTA split naturally when it is ready. Feed it once or twice a week will help it split from what I have read.
