    So i noticed a large tear in my anemone and little tentacles growing around the tear.IDK if it is splitting or if it is repairing from its last split from the previous owner???
    any input would be helpful...
    i realize i could just wait it out and find out for myself if its splitting but i have no exp with RBTS and would like to know NOW!!! ;D

    THANKS

    Possibly...Kinda hard to tell, maybe in a few more days it will be easier to tell..But it looks like it.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I believe it is. I started a thread with images of BTA splitting if you want to take a look at that.

    in my experience that looks like its repairing, if it is about to split it will stretch out really long and slowly start to tear
