Sometime in early 2020 I added 9 full grown Rock Flower Anemone's to my tank. In November/December of that year, I discovered the first baby. It was a little eraser sized speck glowing brightly in my sandbed. It didn't take very long until found another, then another, then even more. On and on it went for several weeks until by the very end, I had amassed around 40 baby RFA's.
They initially went into a PVC end cap and remained there for months. I would periodically squirt Reef Roids or Benereef into the cup to feed them and encourage growth. Realizing how quickly I could be plagued with RFA's if left uncontrolled, I eventually moved all the adults along with the entire baby brood into a WB10 where they have been ever since. I stopped feeding them regularly and just let them be. They are still fairly small, but they are finally getting to a point where I'm going to start selling them locally. Here is what they look like today:
The most exceptional specimens will be kept and cultivated. There are many more in the tank still and I'm finding some very small ones again, so I think there may have been another birthing event at some point.
I'm not shipping, only selling locally, but I just wanted to share some cool pics with the class here on R2R! Some of you may have seen the end cap garden in Ron Reefman's RFA mega thread, but the rack pic is new.
