friar1 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 I am hoping that the addition of the new RFA's will produce babies. Because duh! I did not know this species of Nem does not reproduce by Splitting! Until today! Quote Link to comment
friar1 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 And then today (Next day) I find out that they do split! at least, according to this paper by Kristine Douglas from the University Of The West Indies: The red beaded anemone is a dioecious species, meaning it has separate male and female individuals. It can reproduce sexually with its offspring developing from egg to ciliated planula larvae within the parent and would then drop on the ocean floor, develop a pedal disk and grow into a juvenile anemone without tentacles (Fig. 3). This species can also reproduce asexually via fission. The process of fission happens as the anemone splits to produce a clone. I'll be watching them! Quote Link to comment
