    I have a mated pair. The female is about twice the size of the male.. My pair has spawned 4 times in the last 2 months.... The female swims up to my hand and kind of kisses it,. Yeah sounds strange to me too:-/ But the male is very aggresive, he bites the heck out of me....

    The bigger one is tyically the female if they are a "bonded" pair. Bonded means they have paired up, but not proven breeders. It sounds like you have a bonded pair and the male wont give it up to make them a mated pair, haha.

    What kind of lighting do you? You need either T5HO's or metal halides to support anemones.
