So I just bought a Bubble Tip Sea Anemone and I was moving some rock around and it was attached to 2 rocks so I slowly pulled the other rock and it fell ripping apart the Anemone.

It should recover. Basically you just forced a split. Just keep your water quality spot on and give it time. Don't try to move either piece. Let them move around where they want until they both heal.

Yep, just keep an eye on them, When it's spilt, the two tend to move around.

It should be fine. I've cut rbta's through the oral disc to propagate them. In my experience they have proved to be quite resilient.

I've also seen mine heal up after being cut 3/4 through the length of it body. Took a few weeks to fuse back into one anemone.

here is an update on the Anemones they are doing good, but I had to rearrange my whole rock scape for them. But I think I like it better now lol.
