OP - Congrates on getting a very nice RBTA. I like that it still has nice bubble tips. Are you feeding it?
racingtiger03 - Asexual division is normally stress induced. A happy RBTA normally just gets larger. I have had them get up to 18". You could feed it heavy for a few weeks and do a large 50% water change to induce a split.

Thanks! I feed it a piece of Krill about every other day. It loves it!
I also heard that they tends to split when water parameter change... I might try to induce a split when it gets bigger. Here are a couple of updated pics with the tips stretched out:

Thanks! I'm not sure but looks like battle scar... I think it got bite at some point. I used to have a yellow angel, they probably got in a fight.

YUP...Just make sure they are raw

Ingredients should read scallops.....no additives
If they do not have the little bay scallops, you can buy the large ones...I would cut them in 4 and give the anemone 1/4

I feed all 34 of my RBTA's as well as my grouper some popcorn shrimp, calamari, and scallops. I get a large bag at a local asian food mart for $5. It lasts me for months.

Very beautiful rbta
Just my 2 cents...any marine based sea food will do. Just make sure your rinse, rinse, rinse in cold water. I put mine in a little strainer and let the water run. Most fresh/frozen sea food has a phosphate based peservative added. If you rinse well you should have no problems. I have been using a seafood mix I got for my octopus at the LFS, it has scallops, clams, shrimp and I was horrified (YIKES) to see little tiny octopus, I haven't used the octopus yet, but I will enentaully get around to them.
