Default Fragging an Anemones

interested in taking it as it is too big. I am wondering if it can be
fragged.


I am not aware of any way to frag a bubble anemone that won't chance
killing it.

In my experience anemones tend to split when they are mildly stressed,
usually by virtue of being too large for their immediate environment. A
well set anemone will tend to split rather than move if it outgrows its
crevice.

Your only option may be to feed rich foods until the anemone really does
become too large. A fellow employee tried this at work with a large rose
bubble and after a couple months it split and split and split again and
again. I think we ended up with five or six anemones which were all very
quickly bought up.
