I am so sorry to you to hear that you lost it. Mine must have known that I offered you one because I just noticed now that it split into 3. My brother just came by and brought me another one. Lets see I have 9. This little one is not the bleached one I posted the photo of before, these are in a different tank.

I started with one in my 37. It split after a year, 7 months later one of the clones split into 3. (one is going tomorrow) I am tearing this tank down and replacing it wiht a 50 gallon soon. I have a 14 gallon biocube, it was my first tank in here put the very small rose thinking I could move it if I needed to. It split twice in 2 months, now I have 5. Five in a 14 gallon is too many but they are all very tiny. I will be getting rid of them soon enough, our club has a frag swap comming up next month. Eventaully I want to keep all my roses in the 50. I also have a 15 gallon w/mini carpets, there were over 30 at last count but I know theres more than that now, they multiply like crazy. Lastly I have a 2&1/2 gallon next to my computer, it just has softies, a clown goby and loads of mini brittle stars. I didn't set out to have so many anemones, it just happened.

Thanks, I think the anemone was doomed from the beginning...I will try again next week.
How big is your tank? I didn't know you could have that many anemones.
Meowzer, I have sent you a pm, please read before purchasing another anemone.

Two comments on this thread:
1. You are aware anemones split due to stress correct? It's a survival mechanism. when they feel threatend (by parameters etc) they will split as it takes less ebergy to maintain a small nem then a big one. The thinking also goes that by splitting if 1 half dies the anemone can continue to live via the clone.
An anemone splitting that often is trying to tell you soemthing.
2. I would not recommend purchasing another anemone until you know what happened to the last one. If you aren't sure why something died then do not subject another animal to the same conditions.

If you read the entire thread you'd understand this a little better. I have successfully been keeping roses, huge healthy roses for more than 2 1/2 years. This little rose is a recent addition. I spoke with Karen from karensroseanemones.com, she said as long as they are not bleached they should be fine. I will continue to watch them and as soon as I have my larger tank set up they are all going in there and we'll see if the MH/larger system will make a difference. Thanks you for your concern.
I think my friend meowzer just got a sick anemone shipped to her, given a healthy one, she'll do just fine.

Are you ever willing to sell your clones? I see you said that you will trade them at swaps, but I have a friend in Chicago and visit a few times a year. i would really be interested in one of your little anemones if the price and timing were right.

Contact me when you plan on comming to Chicago. Have not priced them yet, it will be reasonable. I am not selling them all just a couple.
Meowzer, they split most often from stress in our aquariums but also when perfectly content becuse they must. lol
