    I bought a Long Tentacle Anemone before my tank crashed a couple years and had it about a month. I lost him but would love to try and breed the LTA in the future but my tank isn't quite right yet.
    When I was surfing the net looking for information on breeding them, I read that they will deflate and start blowing a milky substance (sperm) out their mouths. It said that they loved to breed and did it often but I never got that far with mine...tank crashed.
    There were others that would bud, split, or some can be left behind on a rock when the Anemone moves.
    Which species of LTA do you have.
