2nd Carpet = spawning??????

[reefdogg1107]

I have had my Haddoni about 1 1/2 years now and about 2 months ago I introduced a second. They are both neon green the larger(also older, atleast in my tank) is apprximately 10" and the other a close second at around 8" or so. My ? is will having the 2 cause one of them to spawn? Assuming one is male???

Todd I hope you see this b/c I know you have some experience with this.
Thanks in advance for any info !!

I currently have 2 pairs of Haddonis in 2 different tanks. One pair has been in the same tank for about 6 months, they other pair about 2 year now. I have only had one spawning event -- a male, but the other anemone didn't react at all during that event. The spawning event was stress related (( long story short, had to have semi-emergency surgery and my main pump either ran dry or failed --- temps dropped to 70* and the salinity went up to 1.030 )).

I don't know any way (( besides watching them spawn )) to tell a male from a female Haddoni. Having two together sure isn't going to hurt, but I having noticed that causing them to spawn.
