Rock flower anemone spawning

[Postal]

As I walked by the tank this afternoon, I noticed that one of my rock flower anemones looked a little different. The anemone had stretched out it's base and was "standing up" away from its normal resting spot against a piece of live rock. A little while later, I grabbed some pics of what I assume to have been a spawning event.
Only the actinics were on so getting pics were challenging. But I think some came out well, and even some with the flash managed to normalize the colors pretty well.

Let me know what you think.

Wow. Awesome shots. Do you have multiple anemones? Or just the one? Were any others showing the same behavior?

[Silver Sur4our]

I have 2 r a and they are in 2 different tanks but tied into the same system. If one is spawning the other will be as well.

I have two in the tank, but the other one showed no reaction at all.
