red eggs coming out of mushroom anemone

[mike9515756]

Last night, i noticed that my clowns were paying close attention to my Actinodiscus pink/green mushroom anemone. I thought they would want to host it. 10 min later i noticed a wad of red eggs(maybe 50 of them) coming out of it's mouth and 10 min later it realesed them all in 1 shot. The clows ate what they could and the rest flew all over the place. Can anyone clarify this? Is this a means of reproduction?

Hi,

Yup, it is an attempt at reproduction. But, as I tell my students in Birds and Bees 101, your girl needs a boyfriend some place in the system for there to be any chance of success. :D

ok, so it isn't possible without a male?

Well if you believe Joseph's and Mary's story they did it without a male about 2,000 years ago. Haven't heard of it happening since then (in spite of the claims of pregnant 'virgins' throughout history.)
