My RBTA Split!
My RBTA split this AM. I saw a clown in each one. They are both stuck to the glass. Since we are in the process of setting up our new tank, I was thinking I will initially place all the corals on the sand in the new tank, place the RBTA on a rock in an area I think he will like and wait for him to settle down or choose his spot. Now I have to do it for two. Will they settle near each other I wonder? I suppose if the conditions are right for one, they will be right for the other. Should I place them together?
Sorry about the bad pic.

I had a RBTA split 2.5 weeks ago or so, and they stayed right next to eachother actually looking like the parent originally... This morning, I woke up to find the clone on the backside of the rock close to some of my SPS...
At this point, I'm letting the clone find a spot and setup shop.. Maybe I can turn this into a 'nem tank :-) Don't touch them unless they are posing danger to something, or you want to remove it completely.

I will have to move them both in about a week to the new tank. It's so neat to have two of them now.

It was about 8 inches. It might have been the clowns finally sleeping in it that made it split? Otherwise no parameters changed that I know of.
