Default Anubias Bloom?

thanks all!

i guess good things come from good light...along with filamentous algae.

i'm getting the algae under control however and discovered the blossom shaft
rising after i cleared out a serious blob of algae.

i've got my little system3 refitted with a ahs reflector and a 9w 64K bulb
and it is doing great with diy injected into the filter intake.

tnx

I've got what appears to be a flower bud on a long stalk heading upward

from
my apparently healthy anubias nana.


Congratulations!

Do these end up emersed?


No. The plant doesn't seem to realize it's submersed, and will produce
flowers
underwater.

What color should I expect?


White.

The flower looks a little like a lily at first, then as it opens further, it
starts looking like a miniature white anthurium.

Lots of critters like to eat anubias flowers. (The spadix -- that
phallic-looking part in the middle.) My snails and clown loaches always eat
my
anubias flowers.
