I’ve had mine for a year and a half, never moved from his/her spot. Running DIY leds roughly at 80%.
Have had situation where parameters where out and noticed mine would sulk for a day or two.
Also if I remember I feed mine hake. Mine has split four times already and I just witnessed the 4th split as arrive home now. It actually looks scary.

The split
One of two things imo
Happy and sees that there enough food for it to split
Or
Unhappy and trying to survive this splitting to make more

I read about it. Freaks me out. Lol..

Hi All
Also a big fan of Anemonies. Fascinates me that although they don’t, they do have a mind of their own and can move freely to where they are most comfortable.
I have two green BTA’s (original one split), one pink BTA, an inferno, green long tentacle anemone, and recently got a sebae anemone. My clowns host all of them except long tentacle and sebae.
Q- why are some of the BTA’s full of white specks and others not? My pink BTA recently developed these speckles which it didn’t have initially. Doesn’t seem any less healthy though. Also see examples of these spots in pics on this thread.

I have 5-6 different species not to mention several of the same species. (At least a dozen RBT). In addition I have at least 3 different species of tube anemones and have never had any issues. All are very happy and thriving at various levels in the tank. Feeding regime is ad hoc. Larger ones get hand fed about once a week and small ones feed naturally
Forgot to add- the long tentacle and inferno have had a fight, inferno won, after causing notable damage to the tips of the long-tentacle I moved the conch that the long-tentacle is attached to, to prevent tentacles from touching when fully extended. IMO different species can be kept, provided that they have enough space. I would never attempt to manually propagate, have seen videos and it just looks unnatural. All of my nennies seem to like medium to low flow. Target feed Hikari coral food and reef roids once in a while, other than that the nems grab whatever they can find and the clowns that host the inferno purposefuly feed it bits of frozen food every second day. I run 4x52 Hydra LED’s which really make the colours pop!

I currently have 9 GBTA in my tank from splitting over the 10 years , probably would have had over 20 if I never sell off some, but I never feed and once they set their footing they never move . My pair of clowns takes nori to them now and again and they under leds . Some bubble up while others seem to stay elongated but the colours are amazing.
