Multiple splits from anemone

[Markcw]

Cause for concern, we had 2 very large rose tipp Bublé anemones last night but when I woke up this morning we now have 7 as the big ones have all split into smaller anemones.
I've read that they can split if in stress but we have no other issues, all other corals and fish are great, water parameters are good.

Should I be worried ???

RBTAs have the terrifying ability to completely populate an aquarium. While they do split as a stress response, they also have splitting as their main form of reproduction when the environment is perfect.
I suggest you begin removing the extras and selling them / giving them back to your LFS before they start splitting in unison... if two became 7 overnight, you could have 20 in two weeks and 50 by the end of the year.

Tank age, lighting, flow, and a list of parameters (even tho you say they are good) may help others offer advice.
Mine split a lot when my tank was young. I went from 3 to almost 50 at one point. I personally don't really know what causes them to split but stress can be a factor from what I have read. Mine haven't split in several years now and are pretty large but my tank is 7 years running.
I also find light is more important than feeding them also.

are you sure they split one night? Because some anemones on the photos don’t look like a fresh split to me.

Ours are weeds at this point. Regret? Maybe. Clowns are happy. They have a mansion with many rooms.

Feeding them and also make them split.
I have found mine splits also in a certain time of year.

Thanks for replies, the tank is around 12 months matured but all my LR and corals came from a tank that was about 9 years old and the guy closed it down as it took up his whole kitchen wall which was about 9ft long.
The BTA were around 8 in diameter for weeks and then they suddenly split a few days ago.
The lighting is a customised TMC 600 luminarie that now only runs the blue led spectrum, I have added this last week ultraviolet LED strips around the outside of my lid and the Wavelength: 385 - 400nm. I do run a small strip of blue led usb to simulate moon light. I have also change my salt recently to H2 Ocean classic formula and this has really improved my parameters and the corals have all started to duplicate including my mushrooms.
The BTA are feed once a week on small junks of white bait and they also pick up my coral fusion plankton powder which I add about twice a week.

I've have notice the last week my reef tank has really improved everything seem in harmony and happy and settled down.

Water changes are 10% every 6 weeks.
