What is my rock flower anemone doing?

[Alvin Alejandro]

I come home and seen my anemone with it’s tentacles up like a cup and it’s spewing out some white stringy stuff out the mouth never seen it do this before. Anybody know what it is?

Looks like a male spawning. Do you have any other flower nems in the tank?

Congrats!

Nope just one I want to get more but all the ones I’ve found are bland so haven’t gotten another one.

Well, it looks like you have a male! Now you need a female... ;)

is there a way to tell? Or pick one and pray it’s a female? Lol

I'm not sure if there is a way to tell by eye, someone more knowledgeable may chime in with the answer.

Maybe @Amoo knows?

I have a few, no spawnings yet. Everything I have read on the topic is to get a few and hope for good odds! Good luck :)

Eggs and sperm are both released the same exact way and look basically identical from what I have seen.
