A quck triple split

[Glenn]

Yesterday a.m. when I fed the tank, my BIG rose bubble-tip was spread open just as it always is. It probably measured over 8-10" and always reached high for the lights - even though its foot is under the top rock on the pile. This a.m. when I fed, I noticed that it was very small and mostly closed up. After looking a little closer in the tank, I noticed another small RBTA about 4-5" away and toward the right-front side of the rock. As I fed the remainder of the tank, I noticed a third small RBTA on the left-front side of the rock. COOL - a triple split :-)

 

Now, about six hours after I noticed them, they're all still mostly closed but the 'tentacles' seem to be flowing more in the water. I'll try to post some before (I think I have some recent pics of the BIG anemone) and after pics tomorrow when they are (hopefully) more opened.

Congrats on the split!

This is the best pic I could find showing the RBTA - from Dec 2011. The anemone is near the top of the rock in the center of the pic.

 

 

Here is the pic of the three anemones peeking out thru the rock

I was able to move two of the three anemones; I left the one in the original position where it was and moved the others to a 'keeper box' I have in the tank.
