Photo of Aiptasia from Florida

Thought you might enjoy these pictures of Aiptasia pallida from the Florida Keys. Is it the beginning of binary fission, or was this the result of a damaged (split) oral disk? I suspect the latter. For the time being this anemone is alive and well in one of my tanks.

Dear Steve,
Thanks for these photos and the one of its nemesis, Berghia verrucicornis. After all the words, its great to see some pictures.
