gmerek2 June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 When talking about anemones, I understand what a manual split and natural split is but what the heck is a clone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 The same thing. Cloning: In biology, cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects or plants reproduce asexually.

gmerek2 June 29, 2014 Author Share June 29, 2014 Oh so this can be both a manual or natural split it just has to be an identicle twin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 Oh so this can be both a manual or natural split it just has to be an identicle twin? Two different roads that end up in the same place. If you slice a nem, it's still a clone. If it splits naturally, it's still a clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmerek2 June 29, 2014 Author Share June 29, 2014 Alright so it's just a fancy name for plain old offspring. I'll use that term from now on so I sound cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnevo June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 I think nems can also sexually reproduce. *If* thats the case that would *not* be a clone. A coral frag would be a clone. But coral can also sexually reproduce. This I'm more sure of since I saw a great presentation on the topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
