Talking Holy multiplying anemones, Batman! My BTA split today!!!

I know this is a coral forum, but I just had to share my exuberance. I've had this small green BTA for about a month. For about the last week it seemed to be quite retracted and didn't want to eat at all. Today while passing the tank I noticed that it was extremely deflated/retracted on one side of the hole it lives in. Looking closer, it appeared to have split. I reached in an picked up the rock and sure enough, it looks like I now have two. There is a clear break between the two entities. I wonder if one has to move out now. I suspect the deflated one will reinflate over the next day or so. I'll get pics up later. Wife took the camera today.

So, all in all I guess I'm having a good week. Snails laying eggs, new xenia doing nicely and now my BTA split. I guess I must be doing something right (for a change).
