Acans spawned?!?!??

the ones directly next to the acan are probably ticked off because the acan is stinging them trying to make space for him to grow.

You could cut the 2 apart and separate them to give them both a better chance.

Well, I do need to frag a bunch of stuff anyways, won't hurt to try
 
I think i found a successful spawn of acans in my 20g reef tank! I was walking by my tank and saw a little white cloud come from around one of my acans. I looked around for snails that could have possibly done it and I saw nothing. I concluded the cloud must have come from the acan itself.
To support this theory I looked around the tank for clues and I found this! (Pictured below)
It has a rigid body to it and when up close it has the same tenticles as an acan and similar coloration.
I've not heard too much about acan spawning in a reef tank so I am skeptical but very hopeful!

Note I got close to it and determined its not a pest anemone of any sort

Update. What i though to be a baby acan I am now sure it was one. It didn't get much bigger before it died. It left behind a small skeleton that was slightly encrusted onto the rock. Sorry for poor image quality. I had to zoom alot to see it
