Did my Flower Anemone spawn?

[coralreefing]

I found some small anemones in my anemone tank. I'm not sure what they are but they look more like my orange flower anemone than anything else in the tank. I've never heard of Flower anemones reproducing in captivity. Is this possible or is it something else.

Sorry about the BLURRY pics.

It probably came in on the live rock.

I have 4 of these that just showed up in 2 areas of the tank. I haven't added anything to this tank in over 2 years.

I have heard of flower anemones reproducing in aquaria before.

Flower anemones have definitely reproduced in home aquaria. There is a discussion thread somewhere in here and maybe on a Michigan club board iirc.

Isolate a few and try to grow them out to a size allowing identification.

Good luck :>)

Thanks for the info. I'll have to read up on flower anemone reproduction.

They seem pretty happy & accepted some small pieces of Krill so I think they will grow well. I'll keep you updated.

Here's a couple of bad pics of my rock anemone spawning.


Sorry for the quality. When I saw it happening I rushed to get the camera and didn't bother with settings/tripod.
