Need ur guys help.. Something awesome happened to my anemones

[Jep21]

So today when i got home around 6 my two anemones were in one corner and i didnt think much my of it.. The lights were off and they were so huge so.. After i checked again at 8 to my surprise my bta got smaller and i checked it.. It split into two anemones.. One hiding behind my rock work. Though the mother bta looks like its not done splitting.. Then i also have my rose bta that i got frm sho tanks and it also looks like splitting.. Was wondering what should i do with the 4 or 5 totall that im bought to have.. Im keeping two i knw forsure and im not sure what to do with the 3 extra.. Sorry if my story is a little confusing.. I got all excited seeing so many anemones in my tank lol..

Let them heal, grow them out, and trade for corals or cash!

have you made ANY changes at all to your tank lately?

Should i move one or two over to my 2.5 and nanocube? Or just leave them in my 8 gallon nuvo?

sometimes splitting is a survival move. you should always check your water parameters, especially if more than one anemone splits like that. make sure water is all good.
take pics when ready and sell them off.

When i checked my parameters yesterday morning everything was normal.. Just put some rodi to top off the tank.. Then this morning i just feed my nems..

Is it a bad thing that my anemones both split? The maxi mini anemone is the only one that didnt split

Keeping stable parameters in a tank that small is virtually impossible. SG, pH, nitrate, etc. swings will all cause this to happen. Not a happy home for a bubble tip nem.

Plenty of aquarists have no issues keeping parameters stable in tanks less than 8 gallons.

Just putting out a guess as to why all this splitting is occurring.

Pics of new nems?

Well with my tank i do about two water changes a week about 2 gallons on monday and friday.. Feed about twice a week.. I run carbon filter floss and chemipure and have a bag of cheato floating in my tank.. Is there anything i should change or improve more on

How often do you top off?

Will post pics tmmrw when i get back home.. Got called in to work so yeah life working at a hospital..

I top off rodi water about 3 times a week..

 

[Jep21]

Just so everyone knws.. Here is my stock list for my nuvo:

2 bta
1 mini maxi anemone
1 sexy shrimp
1 pom pom crab
1 b/w clownfish
1 clam
1 flame scallop
5 snails

There ya go--SG swing. Check the SG every day & see how much it changes.
