PoggiPJ February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 I'm guessing that this is one of those areas where there are alot of possible answers, but nothing definitive. I have two RBTAs that are getting pretty large - roughly 10" in diameter. Do they split when they attain a certain size? Is it a water condition thing? Do I need to dim the lights and show them a movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 thay can split when the water is changed, when you take them out of your tank and bag them, on their way to their new home, or when you feed them meaty foods.....they split when they want to is what I've gotten from all the messages I've read. You can split/frag them if you like. It's very easy to do. Chip has a video on you tube and so do I.

Almon February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 I think the many reasons they split are typically stress related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlem February 7, 2012 Share February 7, 2012 (edited) when mine was stinging a coral next to it, i poke it with a stick several times a day to get it to move. after a couple of days poking, it disappeared, then couple days later, two showed up in two different locations on the opposite side of the tank.

I doubt that I have the nerve to do that, but would be interested in seeing the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind February 8, 2012 Share February 8, 2012 I think the many reasons they split are typically stress related. I agree with that. From observations, they don't just tear themselves apart to reproduce unless it is stress related. If they aren't stressed then they will reproduce sexually, that totally clouds the tank up when they do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
