Finally got a RBTA split!

I've had lots of anemones over the years, and I've had a good number of them split. But I've never had any of my RBTAs split before for some reason. Finally, the other day this massive beast crawled under the rock, and when it came out today... BOOM!

Did you happen to watch it split at all? Did it deflate when it did?

I didn't exactly watch it, but here is how it went - first it crawled under the rock ledge (had never moved before) then after another day it shriveled up so small I thought I was going to lose it. After 2 days where I couldn't get a good look at it, it suddenly opened up again, and I could tell it was in 2 parts, like in the picture above.

Both halves have since crawled back up on top of the rock, and are sharing the exact same spot the original had in the first picture.

Congrats, hopefully, the first of many.
