Wanted: Magnifica sperm

[Flighty]

I thought I would float this out there in case anyone's magnifica spawns in their tank.

I will pay to have you overnight a few cups of clowdy tank water to me.

I want to see if this will induce my magnificas to do anything. Since they are clones from an anemone which has been in captivity for seven years without spawning, I am holding out hope that they are female.

Since it is not known if magnificas are internal or externally brooded, I wanted to investigate what happens if traces of sperm are introduced to the tank.

As always, I would also be very interested to hear of any instances of a magnifica releasing eggs and am always looking for healthy specimens for my future breeding research.

I want to do the same thing, except with H. crispa. The problem is that she never does it on a day that I work, :lol:. I don't even think the eggs would be necessarily present in the water. Follicle cells would still probably do the trick. Unfortunately, the gametes foul VERY quickly and I am unsure if they will even do well overnight. Keep us updated--in the meantime I will keep trying.
