How to slice RBTA Or LBTA

By Anthony Calfo

(RBTA=Rose Bubble Tip Anemone, LBTA= Long Bubble Tip Anemone)

Cautions if you are allergic anemone and be careful with the sharp tools.

Thanks Anthony And Something Fishy

 

Always Wear Gloves
Lay The Anemone On Old Rug, towel, plate, piece of acrylic. 
Using any sharp razor and in this case Anthony is using X-Acto Knife and pushed it directly into the middle of the mouth of the anemone then cut towards the outer edge.
 

Push the cut away from each other to make sure you got it straight
rotate the anemone 180 degrees and look for where you started the first cut and cut from the mouth and cut the specimen to two
Move it apart and make sure you have it cut all the way.

 

Cut Pieces on the towel
Put them in a container for bath
They should open shortly if the water is right.  make sure is not laying on its face.

  
You can then place it in an aquarium and have your eyes on the for few days.  It is recommended to treat the in a seprate system.
