I just got an anemone. I just checked on it and saw this fog being released from the mouth. I have never seen anything like this. Any thoughts.

I just read this: When disturbed, it will discharge long, white strands of stinging cells, which are used to paralyze its prey.

Siphoned as much as I could. We'll see what's next......

Still would appreciate any input from you guys.

I don't know much about anemones but it could be spawning like a clam does.

This particular anemone bears whole babies.
