Little balls inside tentacle tips?

[nanomilk]

Hi guys. I noticed my anemone has bundles of little white balls (dunno how else to put it) inside the tips of 10 or so of its tentacles. Should I be concerned?

Got a pic and more info? What type of anemone?

 

[Anemone]

More than likely they are eggs. Sometimes eggs can be released from the tentacle tip, and sometimes they are either re-absorbed by the anemone or moved back to the stalk.

FWIW,

mmm... i think its gravel or sand. i posted this same thread a week or two ago. lemme dig it up.... ack. seems I deleted the pics from photobucket and my cameras at my old house (middle of moving) but anyways... after it expelled waste the sand or whatever was gone too. If yours still has them by tomorrow i can re upload the pics. heres the thread

I thought it might be sand but they seem too perfect in size. I remember a few weeks back someone posted something exactly the same but the little balls were green in colour.

Green balls inside anemones are almost certainly eggs.
