At 80 degree, the eggs was released by the mother after about 48 hrs at night. The first batch got chewed bu by my filter system. I was trying to get everything for the second patch. I was going to turn the pump off at night and use an air pump over night. However, that tank sprung a leak about 10 days after I took that picture above and I lost the female. I have several Malu right now but have not able to get the to spawn again. I am not trying too hard right now. I have a few male but don't think I have a female. I am trying to get a few more. Actually I am trying to get Vincent to sell his anemone to me as he is looking for a Magnifca. I am not sure if we can arrange for shipment or not.
If I am able to do it, I will keep you guys update on how he turn out and his ID

Just from observation of eggs and sperms.
I have been looking very closely at my Malu, Mag, Haddoni and Gigantea to see if I can see any structure differences between various animals, but not able to see any significant differences. I am sure if we ant to dissect them we can tell male from female but I am not to the point of killing them yet.
I was trying to see the difference between my female and male Malu, but the female died before I can make any significant observation.

That's to me the best indicator that it may not be a mag, especially if that's a wild percula.

I agree. Additionally, not a single one of those "H.magnifica's" has a bifurcated tentacle which is present to some degree or another on all three H.magnfica's I currently own and on every single H.magnifica I've ever seen, (either in person or in picture).
Those anemones are either
H.malu, (most likely)
or
H.crispa

After 36 hrs in the tank, this anemone expanded a lot. He look a lot more like a Malu at this time. The number of tentacles still a little more than I think a Malu should have, but over all, he is more like a Malu. I am not 100% certain. Maybe he is a young Crispa. This anemone have no ringed tentacles like some of the other one in the same group.
