Hey guys just curious on what you guys keep rock flower nems have noticed with reproduction if any.

I have kept 1-2 for over 5 years and have noticed them randomly sending "Sperm" or a milk cloud into the tank. But a few weeks ago i noticed almost each of the 5 I own doing it at the same time. I was not able to get pics because I was awe struck and didnt think about it.

Well within the last few days I thought I had a massive outbreak or aptasia in my refugium. But i have noticed they all seem to have a colored center. Im pretty sure i have had a a successful rockflower reproduction in my tank. Iv counted anywhere from 30-40+ in the sump area alone.

Anyone else counter this before or am I crazy and i do have aptasia and they are just fancy.

ill see if i can post this picture here. I collected 1-2 inside this food dispenser i have.

Computer wont connect to my phone so I will upload it in a second.
