Most corals can be 'fragged' because they're made up of thousands, or
even millions of individual entities co-existing. An anemone is a single
organism, an attempt to 'frag' it would generally result in an untimely
demise.
That is totaly false!
I will give you one example: Aiptasia in an anemone!
My, my. Learn something new every day! Though I wouldn't stoop to actually
calling aiptasia an anemone. g I can't say as I'd attempt slicing my
anemones in half, though I'd love to see it successfully done.

Aiptasia anemones are different than lots odf anemones they reproduce
by pedal laceration. every piece of aiptasia anemone has the ability to
develop ito full anemones. a bubble tip most likly will not reproduce
the same way. as a side note the nudibrach Berghia verrucicornis eats
nothing but aiptasia and is a very effectice method of aiptasia removal.
