I had a single large black widow bubble tip anemone that was about 8 inches in diameter when fully open. I just moved my tank to a new house earlier this week (Monday). Before the move, my anemone had just split in two for the first time and was still healing, and it wasn't fully healed when I took the tank apart. It split again the day after the move, and then again this morning. I went from 1 anemone to 4 in under a week, and it keeps getting smaller and more torn up with each split because it isn't healing in between. One half of the original split hasn't split since, but the other half is now 3 pieces. All of my parameters that I can measure look fine: 0 ammonia and nitrites, about 10ppm nitrates, calcium at 380, alkalinity at 9 DKH, ph at 8.1, and phosphates at .07. Salinity is 35ppt. Temperature is 79 degrees F. I don't have a magnesium tester or a tester for other trace elements like copper, iodine, iron, and others. The anemone is not eating krill or mysis but is still sticky to the touch and is still able to hold on to the rock with its foot. Is this rapid splitting a concern? How can I stop the splitting before it's too small for my clownfish?
