Not all species of anemones reproduce by splitting but most will when under stress as a means of survival IMO. mbootag's looks like this could be the case. It looks too small to be splitting and looks pretty white to me. Mine always grows to the size of a searving platter befor it splits. Just my thoughts and I could be wrong.

No not all anemones split even in the wild, Condylactis and Bubble tips are two of the frequent splitters, many of the others need sexual partners, still others can have budding events.

Tks for the info.
I have a BTA and this guy almost doubled in size in 8 months, but no sign of splitting. :happyfish
