    Hey everyone, I just got a pink tipped anemone yesterday. I woke up this morning and there are two egg like things next to it. Is it possible that i could have two more anemones or are they just unfertilized? If anyone knows anything about what this is or could be, please let me know. Thank you

    Anemones reproduce by splitting, not by laying eggs. Get us some pics and we can tell you what they are, but we can rule out anemones altogether. Sorry.

    Thanks for the advise

    thanks for the feed back. After looking it over, i'm guessing it was just the shrimp i fed it and the anemone just rejected it. I sucked it out so sorry no pics. If it happens again ill post some pics and a better description.

    Hi Brandon

    Beadlet nems - from the coast of Wales in the UK - I kept them many years ago and they did produce mini replicas of themselves from their stomachs
