Propagating anemones by division.

There are two "forms" or "types" of BTA. There is the colonial anemones that live in groups and obviously split naturally as a form of reproduction. There's another that is typically larger, and lives a solitary life, that is not known to split naturally. This may explain why your large green BTA hasn't split.

 

Ummmmm....... Something tells me this isn't going to work out so well.

 

My green bta is a clone made from a split bta from a fellow reefers tank.

That does explain why another friend has a few BTA's and one of them in particular never splits.

 

Well.... It was a guess.

 

i have cut 2 bubble tip's in half rose ones to let every one know now i have 4 all are dooing well but im thinking its not a very good idea to do this. but how do we find a way to stop people from takeing them from the wild and start farming them? any one have any idea's

 

They propagate quite readily just by feeding them. I see no reason to take any from the wild at the rate they multiply.

 

I make a small cut on the edge of a rbt with a sharp scissors and they usually split after a day or so.
