I totally agree. That's why I haven't said that they lack this ability. I've simply said that they are not known to have this ability. We know very little about these animals and I'm sure there are surprises to be discovered. We can not simply assume an animal has an ability though. In order to say an animal has an ability, we must first prove that they do. I've seen many anemones over the years with growth like the one in this thread. I have never seen, or heard of, one of these growths developing a pedal disk of its own and separating from the original anemone. Until that happens, we can not assume it takes place.
