    o.0 i've never heard of that happening. A valid concern but i just never even thought/heard of that. I think they dont reproduce that easily. From my research 1. scientists dont exactly even know the origin of the mini anemonies, 2. when the poms lose one or if theres another pom in the tank with no anemonies they'll split the anemonie they have and share or create another for themselves. I'm not even sure the anemonies really have a "foot" my understanding is the closest relative is a "tumbling" anemone (can't recall the name) and they dont stay in one place they move around the ocean floor like tumbleweeds. Thats all the info on that i have but i think your good if your worried about mass mini anemone spawnage :)
