Well, I caught our mehaffydr RBTA splitting again, so now we have three.

At first it left its home on the tank bottom and wedged itself behind the Aquaclear intake tube.

Didn't realize what was happening until later we saw it, like a loose tooth, hanging by a tentacle

That is why I didn't buy one of them. They are so pretty - the best colors I have ever seen on a RBTA. But they split and they move.

Wanna sell one? lol
 
One is already on the bottom, but the clownfish can't decide which to host yet.
 
TrishW has dibs but it might split again in a few months. I am wondering if the sudden salinity change today stressed it into splitting. (It is in a 20L that was about a gallon low. I didn't do the math, but shortly after topping off is when it went and hid behind the filter intake.
