Default BTA Split:)

HI there,

We just got a rbta from Mario on Saturday and woke up this morning to 2 instead of one. I am assuming the stress from moving it spawned this event. Gees in between Tony and i we are on a roll.

So now my concern is i was going to move it to a 30 gallon today as the 12 gallon cube just doesn't have enough light for it.

Should i still do that or leave it for a few days?

Nice!

I personally would be tempted to leave it where it is for a few days just so it gets over the initial stress of the first move and the split.

I'm no expert when it comes to Anemones though, I have only just started keeping them myself.

But isn't it more damaging (potentially) to move them when they've settled and their "foot" is firmly attached?

We'll my thought is that i can move the rock that they are both attached to. My only concern is the lighting that is in there. I know it isn't enough and i don't want them to waste away from not enough light!!!

I just don't know what to do....lol
They do look content both are bubbled and sitting looking all pretty

My daughter will be thrilled as we bought it for her and she went for a sleepover last night....Leave and there is one come home and there are 2....lol

I'd give it at least a day or two before moving actually. Although Drew has a good point about the foot - it's always better/easier to move the rock too if you can. If they get their foot into a hole in the rock it can be a real headache trying to tickle/pry them off the rock.

But in the case of a split - they literally rip themselves in half when they do this - and then the edges close in on themselves to heal up. I'd give them a day or two to be sure that it's all healed up and stuff.
