Something always happens when I travel

I swear my tank and its inhabitants know when I travel for a few days....I leave my RBTA looking like this:

Now that it has split (or I think that is what happened) i there an easy way to get one to disattach? Are they easier to move right after splitting?

 

Thank You,

Definitely a split, if your other corals are fine, I think its because your tank is healthy enough for her to split? Or maybe she was stressed out and decided to split to increase the chance of survival, or it might be something else.

About removing it, if you think you have enough space for both small anemones now, you should leave it imo. If removing is what you want, well I have removed some but it takes time and patience if you try to remove you go gently and slow if you can grab the part where her legs are if not wait till she is moving and try that agai. Another way would be taking the rock out but I dont think you want to do that.

thank you! Everything else is doing very well so I am hoping it was a happy split. It was pretty big before the split (8-10 inches across). I would love to remove it as I dont want it messing with my corals. Going to try removing it, but if I cant I will just leave it. I do not want to kill it.
