Anemone Fragging

[dubs]

jcolon that carpet is pretty just leave it alone u will be alot happy with one big one than none at all mine is a little larger than urs and it take up quite some room but when it fully open with the clowns in it in nice i thinking fraging an anenome is bad idea jmo they split normaly by them self u just have to wait ... plus just cause u have 2 of them in two corner of ur tank dont garantee that the clowns will like it the one on the right might and the ones on left might not pay the carpet no mind u never know

that anemone is bleached. Definitely will not survive a "fragging" attempt.

Just let it split naturally that's what I have done with my bubble tips I've had about 15 splits so far ur gonna kill it if u split it john trust me when its happy it will def split by itself

Wes,

The anemone is not bleached. That is just the natural color of it.

Justin,
You've gotten some very good advice from Jimmy, and a few others. All of the advice is spot on. These reefers are more experienced than you and quite frankly we all like to see tank propagated, maricultured, and responsible breeding being conducted in the hobby. None of us want to see the natural side of our hobby wiped out. However, the key to all of this is responsible. Unfortunately, as good as your intentions are, you're jumping the gun, by a longshot.

Just the fact that you're considering this 'procedure' is proof positive that you are not ready to do it. This is a chancy surgery when the anemone is healthy and stress free. Your carpet is clearly not up to the requirements stated in your own linked source. Please hold off and give yourself time to enjoy the carpet, the hobby, and honestly, just gain more experience. You'll be happy you waited and will hopefully be rewarded with two beautiful carpets.

Justin,

The anemone is bleached. That is not the natural color. It will regain its green color eventually if you take good care of it. This does not mean its ok to chop it up in several pieces.

Good luck,

Wes

Justin,


I would like to give you some friendly advice and I mean no harm in what I am saying.

I like your tank alot, but You need to dose 2 part alk and cla. Also dose mag. Once you have the right leves and the tank is doing great then think about fragging the coral. Also little by little take out the bio balls from the sump and put in filter pads that you can wash and just put back in the filter. Also make sure you are running gfo ( phosband) in a reactor. I can look for one if you want me to.

I have the agree with Wes, that anemone is half bleached... so its already stressed

I have the agree with Wes, that anemone is half bleached... so its already stressed

So why not cut off the half that is bleached

 

[motortrendz]

So why not cut off the half that is bleached

bc it will then surely die... bleached is stressed.. im not sure if you were serious... or being sarcastic..:spin:

 

[JimmyR1rider]

if you do frag the anemone make sure you have a good place for it to recover it reraleases toxins and could kill off whatever is in your main tank.i wouild leave it in the hospital tank for a minimum of 72 hours with good lighting.if you are a new reefer i would suggest you not even attempt to split it.

 

[jcolon2]

haha, cut off the half that is bleached. Sounds like a plan jk
