wfoxfox July 3, 2010 Share July 3, 2010 so I was taking corals off the rocks and picked up the rock the rose was attached to, but........ it was also attached to another rock. The rose ripped in half. doh any chance it will heal from a rip? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefhunter July 3, 2010 Share July 3, 2010 you probably fragged it and now have two! just put them in a place where they can heal... (not too much flow but not too stagnant)(not too much light, but enough light)... whatever that means... good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incredible Corals July 3, 2010 Share July 3, 2010 I wouldn't worry about it. I tried to remove my RBTA and got so frustrated I pulled the H-E-double hockey sticks out of it and it never detached from the rock. I thought I ripped the thing apart. A few hours later it was back to normal and my clowns were hosting it again. From experience RBTA anemones are very hardy and resilient. Howerver, you will probably have two RBTA now...

wfoxfox July 3, 2010 Author Share July 3, 2010 it has split on its own in the past :-) I guess if the 'mouth' got split/ripped and each side has a piece......... will be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak July 3, 2010 Share July 3, 2010 there is a somewhat ok chance that it might work out, don't bug them too much you will probably get at least one have to survive if your water quality is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite July 3, 2010 Share July 3, 2010 Has anyone ever had a part of one with no mouth that grew a mouth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerseller July 3, 2010 Share July 3, 2010 Has anyone ever had a part of one with no mouth that grew a mouth? Many times, the turn around time was just to slow to do this routinely. I found 1/4's to be the most efficient. in this case, it may split if there was enough tear. It might also simply heal right back up like nothing happened. keep the flow about tank on the stronger side but not right at the anemone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDLV July 9, 2010 Share July 9, 2010 I think you're covered under the responses posted previously but if you still need any reassurance, I ripped one in half too exactly as you described and had no issues with it healing up. I've had them go through closed loops and survive too. As long as it was healthy to begin with, I think you'll be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak July 9, 2010 Share July 9, 2010 Any progress? By now you should have a pretty clear idea if they're gonna make it or kick the bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF July 9, 2010 Share July 9, 2010 I'm new to the forum and just read this. I'm interested to see if there are two now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak July 9, 2010 Share July 9, 2010 I'm new to the forum and just read this. I'm interested to see if there are two now. Welcome! If you're interested in seeing 1 anemone become 2 the proper way try and make it to our annual frag fest this Sunday to see demonstrations on propagating anemones, corals, and more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
