Anenomes Splitting (1 Viewer)

[ldian]

I have a 65 gallon Red Sea Tank. My anenomes are splitting fast. I am an anemome fan, however , are they splitting because they are happy or stressed and what advice would you give by looking at the photo below. I need to clean the tank and the gravel today. Also what are good tips for keeing the gravel clean?

I have not really noticed a correlation between happy/stressed and splitting/not splitting. Currently all of my Intergalactic Spaghetti anemones (a type of BTA I believe) have bleached for some reason, but they are still splitting. In the same tank, the speckled rainbow BTA's have not bleached and they are also splitting.

When I had anemones in my 300g, they would get quite huge before they would split, whereas in my 150 they split at a much smaller size. So, good luck figuring out the pattern! Yours look healthy in your picture, so I don't think you need to be worried.
