Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of multiple bta’s !
How’s your tank doing ? Everything happy , it looks like it might be a new tank ?
How’s your water parameters?

Parameters spot on, everybody looks to be doing well, 12 lps and 3 softies. 7 utility fish. tank was new in may of last year. This is my 4th reef aquarium, and most successful so far. Still and always learning though...
 
Have you been feeding the anamone ? Or done a large water change recently before it split ?
 
Nice!!

In my experience a splitting BTA is a sign pointing toward 1 of 2 things
1) water is steady parameters and everything is happy
OR
2) BTA sick/stressed and it's a last ditch effort to stay alive

But if everything is doing great it's pointing toward number 1, which is awesome!!

It was way down in the back, were i couldn’t feed him for the last two weeks. I tried to shoot some mysis back there with a baster, and it did get some. I do a 20gal water change every two weeks on a 110h tank with a 55sump(which has about 30gals in it) religiously. So, I’m not sure what would have triggered the split. No big changes. That little bta has been everywhere in the tank, in fact just as every other bta I’ve had they’re never in one place for long.

I can say, both of my clowns, hang in the area where it was, maybe they were feeding it. But, i have never seen them host with it either.

I have tried everything to get the clowns to host in it, even pics of clonwns hosting in a nem, but they are having no parts lol.
