Calfo has everyone thinking about cutting up their carpet anemone. I've yet to see any successes with my own eyes.
Did you precondition the anemone with heavy feedings well in advance of making the cut?

I normally don't target feed this anemone. Since it took up most the tank, it ccaught most of the food meant for the fish. However for the past two weeks I had been giving it an additional silverside everyother day. I must admit, I didn't know Anthony suggested additional feeding, I just happened to start doing because I wanted to try and keep it smaller.
I know that sounds funny, but I have found that it seems like sometimes anemones don't expand as much when they are full. Of course you run the risk of increasing the anemone's mass, but I appears smaller because it is not expanded to its maximum. Yes, it was a short term solution to a growing problem (pun intended
