Well, thanks for the vote of confidence. I have to say that it really hasn't been as difficult as some people make this out to be. I spend time reading a bunch of newbie forums on other sites to see what people are doing and get answers to some questions I have. Now, I'm no genius, but even I know that it pays to read a few books and a lot of internet articles to figure out how to do this stuff right. I'm really amazed at the stupid things poeple do when setting up their first tank. I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing.

Well, it seems that my two anemones are rather cozy together in their little hole. Neither shows any sign of moving. I guess that's a good thing. Here's some pics. The larger group of tentacles to the left is the original, to the right, the new clone. Clowns still shying away.

EvilTwin - How big are those anemones? Sorry but this might be a stupid question - Are you sure that they are not Majanos?
Have a look here for identification - http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/bta/not/majano.html
Did you get those at the LFS?

OK, now I'm scratching my head. I did buy it from the LFS. The told me it was a BTA. How do I tell for certain?

What makes me think it is a majano is that it split at such a small size. Not everyone considers majanos to be a pest. I've never had majanos before so I can not say with 100% certainty.
Besides aiptasia here is a photo of my pest anemones (tapetum I believe) -

Every bubble tip I have seen has been at least the size of a baseball up to the size of a basketball. I do not claim to be an anemone expert so please do some research and form your own judgement. Maybe someone else can chime in with another opinion or links to help you identify. If the anemones never grow any larger than they are now and continue to split then I would bet that they are majanos. In that case I would kindly ask your LFS if he would like to purchase them back from you. Sorry.
