    After 3 years, my Anemone split into two for the first time last night. [​IMG]

    Now my Clowns can have one house each :) I just worry about the Anemone at the back since it won't get as much lightning. Hopefully it will be okay.

    Cool! :)

    Don't worry about the nem; if it needs more light, it will move.

    +1 in my experience its not uncommon for the "new" nem to hide a little more than the other the first few days. congratulations! it should regularly split now

    Very cool.
    I recently had the same thing happen. My clowns split and each one resides with its own nem. I think they might have gotten in a arugment and are staying is seperate beds. haha

    I think they are Ocellaris clowns and Orange Bubbletips. Both the clowns and the nems are same age at around 3 years old. Good news, the one at the back moves to front today, and now they are sitting side by side. Pretty cool.
