Mine split the other day but the two are staying right next to each other, this normal? Its no big deal to me, I am just wondering. I plan on trading one of them for a coral or two if I can get it, but am in no hurry, figured I would let them settle down some after the split. We will hold you to the pics of yours, lol.

Congrats, TRe!

Our BTA kept splitting. The mother would stay in her place, but the babies moved all over the tank, stinging corals. In the end, we got rid of all of them (the clowns like their mushroom better).

It must be nice to get a few $$$$ back out of your tank instead of putting $$$$ into the tank for a change.
