Nice I was thinking of getting an anemone to try and get my maroons to come out of hiding all the time and to stop the female from making big holes in the sand so we will see with what i decide with lol

[KeishaKornbread]

You can cut an anenome?

 

[Smith11]

Yes you can, sometimes a slight worsening in parameters can spur the nem to split

 

[KeishaKornbread]

Only two hosting anemones split naturally, E. quadricolor and H. magnifica -- would only considering "cutting" an E. quadricolor.

In addition, there are some thoughts that there are 2 types of E. quadricolor, solitary ones that grow large and don't split, and colonial ones that stay somewhat smaller and do split.

With that said, about 6 years ago I had one that would regularly get to around 15 inches and then split.
