Just thought I’d add. I once came home from a trip and found my bubble tip had been completely shredded in my power head. I cleaned what I could, did a 20% water change and ran carbon and noticed one tentacle stuck to a rock, looking relatively normal. One tentacle, no oral disc. No apparent foot but must of had a little something. That tentacle quickly grew into a large healthy anemone that lived many years and split many times. So don’t assume they are complete goners when this happens. They are really incredibly resilient creatures.
Wow, that’s crazy!
 
No ….

I have fragged a large carpet anemone before .
mad long as it has part of the mouth it will regrow to be a circle in time .
Not recommended , it can go south very fast !

That particular anemone was sold . The kid buying it insisted it was ok to rip it from the rock it was attached to .
He ripped it in half and later tried backing out of the sale .
He paid for it , I kept 2 partial anemones , which re grew to be healthy .
Happy ending !
Not all end that way
Wow, so both pieces ended up with part of the mouth? I know I haven’t heard high survival rates on cut carpets. That’s great!
