If you ever wondered what anemone spawning looks like. Event in progress. Not looking forward to tomorrow. He is 20"

When I had a spawn, I use a air tube to suck out the sperms and eggs as they spewed out

 

[MarinaP]

I was a little late to the party, Minh

 

[OrionN]

I hope your tank is not too big. Easier to change water . What is the name of that Acro. Looks nice.

 

[joshky]

Looks like a huge mess, I do not envy you.

Wow, look at that Acropoa efflorescens? colony!

 

[MarinaP]

That is an efflo, Minh. The tank is big

:strange:After clouding 300g of water, anemone proceeded to release eggs. It is difficult to see them in these blurry videos, but you notice them in the very beginning of each video

The same anemone? I though that they, S. haddoni, are either male or female, not both.

BTW, last two photo "not found" right now. This may change later.

I thought so, too. First the tank got very cloudy between 9pm and 10:30pm, 30 mins later there were eggs released in batches. I could see them very clearly, no doubt they were eggs.

????
My very large haddoni only released sperm when he spawned last year. No eggs.
Did you see your's release the sperms? Are there any other animals in your tank that could release the sperms?
It would be highly unlikely that sperms from other animals trigger the release of eggs in haddoni.

I did not see it release sperm. There is an urchin that has been spawning for 15 years. He spawned earlier yesterday, like 6 hours before the anemone. There are no other animals that could foul 300g of water to the point that I could not see 5" into the tank with a powerful flashlight.

The tank is still very cloudy 12 hours later and the whole house smells

 

[joshky]

and the whole house smells

My brother's haddonis had only ever released sperm once that I can remember, I guess it's good that he was there to get it as it was happening! I didn't even think that it could cause a whole house to stink, that's pretty crazy to think about.

It is official, it is a girl. Here is a video of another spawning event. Tank is all coudy again :headwally:

Madness continues. She spawned 2 nights in a row. Has anybody had a haddoni that spawned twice in 24 hours?

Had do I Spawning

Had do I Spawning

I had a haddoni spawn only once. Eggs first then milt. Tank got very cloudy and the fish gorged on the eggs. I was not expecting this so I was not able to collect the eggs. This never happened again.
