    Nems that reproduce asexually by splitting usually start with the mouth, then divide vertically. BTW, that appears to be a Condylactis.

    Congrats! :)

    You are correct. I have two myself that split a year ago, now I have two monsters.. Congrats.. They will split for two reasons, on their own or it got stressed for whatever reason. My clowns bounce from one to another during the week..
