cutting a rbta?
«

Has anyone here cut a rbta? I have a huge rbta that I either need to have split or sell. I was able to get it off the rock by drilling the rock and chipping a small piece off the rock that the foot was on. Just got done reading of actually cutting one in half and thought that I might try it. Just wondering if anyone had any advise on attempting this? It was getting too big and taking up alot of room for adding some new corals.

I've never done it but bulk Reef Supply has a video on cutting them. Just something for you to look at if you haven't already.

LazyLivin does this all the time - pretty sure that he just takes a pair of scissors and cuts the BTA in half, bisecting the mouth/foot and it repairs itself - I am sure he'd be glad to tell you more ;o)

Well I cut my rbta just a little bit ago. Amazing how easily it cut. Had something that looked like intestines around the cut area. From what I read they will pull back together within the first day or so and as long as no infection sets in they should be fine.
