Ok, so it appears my anemones are doing quite well, shetmans about 12" across and Green bubble tip is just a few mm from the same. I know some say its bad practice, but are there any procedures we can do to HELP them split? I've heardof constant feedings will make them split. However after feeding mine silversides, they keep getting bigger and bigger.

Problem is that its now killed 3 colonies of different zoas, a plate coral, and a half a monti colony.

HELP!!!!!
 
The way you make them split is to feed them a lot for a few days, then do a massive water change. That's a trigger method that tends to work. Water quality / parameter shifts seem to get that response.

Another method that has happened to me personally was to handle the anemone. It didn't like me messing with it when I was actually trying to help it, and within a couple of days it split. I was wearing surgical gloves, but my wrist and forearm still got stung in the process. It was easily 18" across.
