Here's a photo of what these probably look like under white light. Pretty anemones, certainly, but I think I would call them purple-tipped green BTA's. There are a lot of people out there who think...

It just happened the first time, but it was repeated. Makes sense when you know the nuts and bolts of what happened. However you hit the nail on the head - very few people can keep brood stock...

I did not chill the tanks. They were kept at approx 78-80. The clowns did not seem to show any heat stress and took well to other anemones that were not their customary hosts.
