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>

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,
