Anemone Eggs?
 
Ok, so I am a nem newb. Is this normal for a nem? It looks like wee small spherical eggs almost the same color as pollen in side the "bubbles". Its been in the tank a little over a month and otherwise appears to be doing well.

Looks like a girls spawn to me :p

I've had anemones spawn on me before but they've all been male. It would be interesting to see if we could take say one my male BTA's and a split of this female BTA and let'er rip. :lol: Course getting them to spawn at the same time and then rearing larva are going to be the next thing :lol:

I was under the impression that anemones just split but I am by no means an expert. I had a rose bubble tip who disappeared and now have about 20 baby nems in the tank. One of these babies is about three times the size as the rest so I was thinking that was maybe the mama one. Not sure but I know your guess is definitely better than mine. I did not notice any eggy things on the bigger nem before the split, just FYI.
