Back when I had anemone tanks I used to cut them once every 6 weeks or so. These were in dedicated tanks, with only clones of the same nem, and were feed daily. Still in the beginning my success rate was a little better than 50%. in the beginning. If I spit 50 nems, I would end up with about 60-70. Later the average went up, I was maybe getting around 80. What Im saying is that even being raised in a friendly atmosphere my success rate was less than optimal. Cutting it might be a good option, but just be aware that there is a risk involved. With only one, you may end up with 2 or only 1 or worst case 0.

salinity change, stress, threat, and etc can all cause split. natural split is alway better. but, cutting them also works too. always make sure it's a clean cut through the mouth.
