    I thought that rose anemones reproduced by division. What else do you have in the tank and do you have any way of posting any pictures? I hope whatever is happening is good. Gl

    alan actually saw it coming out of the anemone it was about 4 inches in diameter it looked like thousands of tiny eggs, then it started to disperse and went all over the tank.A few minutes after the tank went really cloudy the clowns were trying to eat them also polyps and suncorals were feeding on them. Any ideas anyone? Kath

    I really could have gone without seeing that picture...i think the anemones want to privacy...
