Lettuce Nudibranch Splitting???

[reefbound]

Just like the title says!!! it is splitting in two identical pieces.. is this normal when only one is present? There are so many things going on in the tank I cant keep up...I need more me's...

I tried to get a good pic but he/she has the two sides curled into each other. I hope its ok,it looks like its still eating.

I don't think they reproduce asexually. What are your water params?

Sounds like you have a flatworm and not a nudibranch. Nudibranchs are spiral egg layers. Flatworms are hermaphrodites and reproduce by splitting to the best of my knowledge.

Check out this thread (and the links in it) to see if that is what you have.

Regardless, a picture of the creature itself will help, and be fun to look at too.
