Rock Anemones Rock

spawn from a male. There is a video out there showing females that looks like little balls.

Well it spawned again this morning. And for a moment it blew over and landed on my green splatter one. I was hoping maybe that one's a female and it would trigger a spawn from it but it just curled up and shrugged it off.
 
Could you post pictures of the rock anemones around these ranges of lighting? 10k, 14k and 20k? I'm interested in rock anemones too but I'd like to know what they look like in these ranges. Thanks!
I have led's so couldn't tell ya what spectrum I am dealing with but I thought maybe this pic of them not under any light might help. Obviously under more blue they fluoresce more so look better but even under my white leds they still are pretty. The dark one in that pic is my profile pic.

I am not so good at posting lol these were meant to go with the last post. another of the same under more white lights and one of the bottom guy shown in the no light pic. he was pretty small.

I think it takes quite a bit of time for them to both spawn and then have the babies pop up. One lady had posted she thought it was about a 3 month deal. It kinda sucks how little info there is on these guys. I know the Cherry coral guy said he cut them and had success but he's the only one I have ever seen say that. I personally couldn't risk it.
 
I have read older articles and posts saying you could cut them which were all then directly followed by do not cut them they won't live. I will let someone else try this one and get it all figured out 100% before I go trying it myself.

Yeah that scares me. I have two ricordea and I know you can cut them, I've even watched YouTube videos on how to do it. But that's just a bit too intimidating for me as a beginner.
 
show us which one. I have been forbidden to look at any sales till the new year and possibly till I get a bigger tank if the little ones grow too fast.
 
I've been wanting to get a nice tri-color. I picked up this one along with a few other things.

Went to pick up my purchase today and sadly my anemone had gone missing. They had put it in a basket in the water so they could easily get it out but sometime between then and now they think it must have crawled out of the basket and they couldn't find it anywhere. :( So I got the rest of my purchase and saved some money for another sale.
 
Here are some day time pics of my new guys

Still learning to take pics through the thick acrylic so...
 
I better have at least one m/f pair in this garden so let's hope I can get them big and happy.
 
I've noticed recently under the day lights it looks like my purple and green splatter rock nem (which I call the little green Martian) is trying to purple back up. That would be so cool if it does. Under the night lights though it's still all green. Lime green and army green.
