I have a pair of banggai that breeds regularly and some of the fry survive. I normally can catch a few and move them to the refugium. The others stay in the main tank and have a good survival rate.

One of the baby banggai that I was raising with his siblings in the refugium, fell into the return compartment.

He was sucked by the pump, thrown into the tank, survived the journey and somehow landed in the ritteri anemone. He has been living there with a clown trio that accepted him.

Months have passed and I have been noticing that his mother is becoming more and more tolerant of him as he's approaching maturity. I am assuming it's a he.

Can she "use" the 2 males in alternation?

This was shot 4 months ago:

 
Cool story!! No clue on if she could breed with him. I'd worry about mutations from inbreeding, but maybe that's not an issue?? I've never done breeding myself. Maybe others will chime in
 
I'm trying to decide what to do. I don't know if I should just move the 6 Banggais I have in the refugium up to the DT or not. They're too young to take to the LFS (250kms away anyway).

On the other hand, I really doubt the 12 of them will get along for long in the DT.
