Excellent. Glad to see another of the same "batch" is doing well Just a question regarding the feeding. Have you observed your anemone catching anything in its tentacles far away from its mouth and then somehow eating it? Or is anything you feed pretty much dropped right into its mouth? The reason I ask is because mine has caught a few pieces of stray mysis (it's very "sticky"), but I haven't observed it actually moving it to its mouth....if that makes sense?

It's interesting, because I was just reading a thread on RC about asexual reproduction of carpet anemones, and saw some pictures of a Gigantea "budding", similar to what seems to be happening in your third pic.
