I'm so excited!  I now have a little bitty BTA.  Anyone know why they split?  What are the chances of survival for the clone?

I think there are a couple of different reasons they split. One would be to repreduce and they will sometimes split when stressed. I dont think it is bad though:) My rose has split 3times.

This is slightly off topic but I thought anenomes were too poisonous to keep in a small reef tank?  

 

Wouldnt it/doent it move around and sting the other corals?

I'm having probs charging my digicam battery so pix are still coming...I fortunately had no probs with my BTA moving too much and stinging other corals.  Once my BTA found a happy place he has stayed there for a good 3+ months until it split.  The larger half has retreated to a lower position but not very far from it's original position where it's smaller clone has remained.  As for specs:
