Thank you...
There are actually 4 of them... they get along just fine. Two larger ones are what I would expect to be a "pair", a third one a "male in waiting", and the fourth one just goes where the other ones want him, being very submissive. There is no aggression at all between any of them, and at night all 4 huddle in the anemone. (Usually at least 3 are in the anemone anyways.) So far no eggs, but I'm not really pushing for that until after our upcoming move when I can set up a breeder system. Then I'll separate the larger two into their own breeding tank and let them go at it... What a LOT of work THAT's going to be... Phyto, Rotifers, live brine shrimp... more tanks will be dedicated to feeding & culturing than breeding & rearing... but sometime next year I'm gonna take a shot at it... 
Christy, that purply acro pic under the Ricordia pic is one of your frags, as is the one beside it with the small yellow polyps... remember the "brown" little one? The other side of it...(go figure!) is a nice shade of green...
