phisigs79 December 11, 2007 Share December 11, 2007 So i got a GBTA and its sheaded a bunch on tentacles and started to split. Only prob is its been 4-5 days and it is only partially split. Should i finish it manually or leave it alone? Looks healthy but started to split on day one. could it be that the foot was damaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 December 11, 2007 Share December 11, 2007 I would leave it alone, but I'm far from being the expert here. I would think that it's going to either heal up again or finish the split on it's own. Either that or you will have the first WAMAS siamese twins anemones, they eat with two mouths but it all goes to the same place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezerburn December 11, 2007 Share December 11, 2007 I'd leave it be. It's bound to happen :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grav December 11, 2007 Share December 11, 2007 Weird. Me want pics. I guess is mushrooms can semi-split, so could a BTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few documented situations with 2 pedal disks: 1 oral disk and 1 pedal disk:2 oral disks. They seem to survive just fine. The concern I have is with the "tentacle shedding", this should not occur. I have seen that happen under highly stressed conditions or predatory conditions. I would be a bit worried 1 or more of the divisions would become necrotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phisigs79 December 11, 2007 Author Share December 11, 2007 looks like the outer ones were the ones that shedded. I was attached to loose rocks which could of shifted during transport that could of caused a tear not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
