Rock Flower Anemone Breeding

[FishNutty]

Does anyone have any info on rock flower anemone breeding? I know they reproduce sexually, but past that, I haven't found much info. I've got four in a dedicated nem/LPS tank and I've been feeding in the hope that if they're happy they'll breed, but I'd love some more info.
Even if it's just tank stats on other people who have had them reproduce for them.
Thanks!

I believe the December issue of CORAL magazine had an article on it. Not a lot of details on what led to success, other than a lot of feeding.

Thanks! I don't get it, and can't find the article anywhere online(I've looked everywhere!) but it sounds like there isn't much I missed anyway. I'm feeding two to three times a week with mysis, which most of them love. There's one that's the size of a quarter, light pink with a bright yellow right, gorgeous...and refuses to eat or grow :debi:

These are the three that do eat(the other also doesn't photograph well-the yellow turns out weird :headwallblue: but you can kind of see it in the back)

From the few people I've talked with that have been lucky enough to have them breed said they feed mysis daily or every other day. Also you need a female and male. I don't think there is a way to tell them apart.

Mine spawn in the summer when the tank is slightly warmer. I only feed mine at most once per week. I have probably 20 babies, from multiple spawns over the years. Some are less than half an inch and some of the babies are now half grown. The females are internal brooders. I expect yours will spawn in time if you provide them with good conditions.
