rock flower anemone babies?

Earlier today I noticed RFA on the move towards the other one, I’ve got two. They interlocked their lil tentacles and now I saw these. One has tentacles like the …dad…? Do the babies form that fast?

you can see the trail blazed by the anemone , red went to green. Moved fast, and has never moved since I’ve had him.

what’s up ?

Interesting. I thought RFA were like semi-broadcast spawners. Males broadcast sperm and females ingest it to fertilize internally. I can't remember the magazine but there was a large reef article about breeding RFA in aquaria before. I know I've caught one of mine broadcasting sperm. I'll be curious to see more on your's!

no babies this morning but haven’t moved, or could just be covered up under the red one

Babies will just appear…like a tiny pinhead dot that has a color in it. Sometimes you don’t even notice them…until you look closely. After a month they could get to the size of a pea.

I’ve only ended up with babies in my tank with 20 Rock Nems…the other two tanks each have 2 and have never found a baby in there.

Hilarious! You "caught" him.

Like he was being naughty or something...

Whatever they were, they were not babies. Lol. I’m looking back and thinking it was hoarding the large pieces of shrimp I was feeding the tank at that time
