Mine split last night... Here are some pictures...
Should I feed them today? Is there anything I should keep in mind?
Any advice is welcome... this has never happened to me before. I had this anemone for several years.

Anemone split for 2 reasons. Either to reproduce due to excellent conditions, or as a last ditch effort at survival. Either way do not attempt to feed them. Anemone don't require direct feeding at all and can gain all the nutrients they require from light via photosynthesis.

I went from 3 to over 40 at one point and all grew large and healthy. Traded a bunch to the lfs for credit. I have e a really nice bright red one that split once but hasn't split again in over a year. I wish it would just because the color is so nice and they are worth a lot more than the rainbows.

I hope it doesn't do this again. I only have a 29g bio cube. I don't want to have to pull anything out of it. Looks great the way it is and it will look better when my GSP grows a bit more.
I was lucky as mine were in a 180 Gallon with very few corals so the nems just cover all the rock till I took them a lot of them out. It looked pretty cool and one pair of clown fish thought they were in heaven.

I have two very happy clownfish too. They are both on each one of the anemones... I hope this event doesn't give ideas to the little one and they start fighting. Is this even a possibility?
If they are a bonded pair they will be fine. More than one nem has always worked out better for the clowns I have had because the male gets one. With a single nem the female usually would take it over unless it's a big one then they share like this pair.

I have a pair of clowns. Started with 2 anemone and now have 6 or 7. The clowns just go from nem to nem all day long. Every night they both sleep in the largest.

No give them time to heal. Wait a couple days and then try. Mine ate after a week. I attempted to feed and they retracted. So just try to see when they’re ready. Good luck
