Another BTA?

[JayA]

I have 2 clowns, one of which looks like he wants in on the BTA, but the other keeps him from it and claims it as his/her own. Should I get another BTA for my small 20 gallon tank? The current one has grown to be quite large - prob 8" diameter, but idk if/when it will split? I think I have had it a few months and it has probably tripled in size. All thoughts and input appreciated. I know the other clown doesn't NEED an anemone.

Feed it daily - it will eventually split
Mysis shrimp is a good meal

This. I have had my rbta for a few weeks and it split last night. Like you, I have a 20 gallon and I’m not sure if I want both of them roaming around all the time.

Will do. If I feed it daily how long would you expect it to take to split? weeks? or months?

Mine wandered the first night to its current spot. One day everything in my tank became miserable (long stupid story) and he wandered that night, but the next day came back to its chosen spot. I know it can wander, but thinking it is way too happy where it is?... Do yours roam all the time?

Mine wandered the first day or so. It stayed in the same spot for about a couple weeks then yesterday it was wandering all around, and then I woke up to 2 nems in the tank.
