anemone spawn question

In my 14 biocube I have several mini carpet anemones and assorted softies. I just noticed something (male) spawning. Here are photos.

I just did a large water change and replaced my carbon with new. Here is how it looked afterwards.

Anyway, I am sopposed to be shipping an anemone from this tank tomorrow. Anyone with knowledge of how this spawn will affect the rest of the tank. I am not comfortable shipping one of these after such an event without getting a second opinion. Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks
 
Everyone should pull through just fine. I would keep circulation up and run mechanical filtration at least until it cleared up.

I wouldn't ship the anemone in water from that tank. At least not until it clears up.
 
I did a 5g water change and replaced the carbon right away. This morning it looked pristine.

The only anemones I have in this tank are mini (no maxis in this tank) carpets. I have a lot of softies too, I can't be sure what it was but I saw it happening, something was shooting out a stream of couldy substance. My first guess however is an anemone.

We called it off due to weather. Resceduled for next week. Thanks for the imput.
I searched and searched, could not find an answer to how a spawn impacts the rest of the reef tank. All I came up with was directions to do exactly what I did. Everything is cool now so :cool:
