Anemone Eggs?

fishytime · #1 01-05-2009, 01:04 AM

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

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.

Course getting them to spawn at the same time and then rearing larva are going to be the next thing

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.
