Carnation Anemone doing something????

Vickie/Pryor · 02-23-2007, 10:38 PM

I've had this Carnation anemone for about 6 weeks. Today I saw 2 streams of stuff coming out of it's mouth. The streams of stuff became very long and would periodically break off. This continued for about 15 minutes or so. What it this? Could it be a sexual reproduction?

Looks like fecal matter. The anemone looks very healthy.

Have you been feeding it ? How long have you had it ? What type of lighting do you have ? Never heard of this name but appears to be a Heteractis Malu and the fact that it's yellow usually indicates it's dyed. It could be pooping or expelling it's zooxanthellae which isn't a good sign, can you get a closer photo ?
