  • when doing this what are the odds of it surviving?

  • @FCUKCHEATERS

    I've not lost one anemone from fragging them this way. I've used large sharper scissors to avoid the double chop. I place them back in the tank in a holding box with moderate flow and they are 100% healed within a week.

  • The anemones survived. They took about 6 days to heal. I placed them in a basket inside the tank. I've also placed them on rocks inside my tank with light to moderate water flow directed at them. Water floe helps to prevent brown jelly. I've also fragged them with a razor which I found to be unstable and took longer.

  • Great video and seems like you found the best way to go at it with the larger scissors for a single quick cut.

  • @peterbryan123 ive done the a similar procedure with actinia equine back when I was doing my college thesis.

    and yes you need to be careful of cutting, and when done right they do survive no problem. As for my experience on the two new animals, placing them in a quarantine tank i notice their stomach contents in the water. aside from those i found no traces of excessive secretions in the tank water.

  • this is first time i saw how to frag the anemone, if the anemone is bleached, can we do frag them so? or apply only to healthy anemone?

  • so after i cut them i place them in a little basket until they heel.Then i simply place it on a rock? dose this work with all anemones?

  • very cool, had no idea that was possible. How do they come to be? Do you know?

  • shit that seemed to take a long time to cut. Did they survive. Also dont they give off chemical when back in the tank ??

  • where do u heal them?
