Tube Anemone Dear Sir: I was reading your article on the Internet about the tube anemone, and I was hoping you could point me in the right direction to answer my questions if you cannot. I have a 75 gallon reef aquarium. I have a tube anemone and have had had it in the tank for 5 months. The anemone has begun reproducing. There is now another smaller one coming out of the substrate. Where can I learn more about this? <You may be the one to actually write what you are observing> If you could please help with my research into this behavior it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! <I would first take a read through the internet (via different search engines) with the terms "Tube Anemone", "Ceriantharian" and see if this satisfies you. If not, a trip to a college/university library to seek the help of a reference librarian. Congratulations on your successful husbandry. Bob Fenner> Brett Chisholm Tube Anemone mystery, magical repro.? Nope I bought a orange tube anemone from my LFS, and they told me that it was safe. <Not so> After reading on from your archives I decided to remove. I have a small bi-color blenny / scooter blenny / Jawfish / yellow tang / from what I have read he would be a predator to these my problem is I removed him on Monday , Tuesday he was back without his long tube. so I pulled out just the anemone and returned him to his tube at the store the I came home Thursday night and another one was there!!! did it reproduce? or split? <Possibly> I guess they don't need there tube? <The tube is non-living material made by the Anemone. Can be shed, replaced at will. Bob Fenner> thank you, sensitive fish guy James DeHoff
