anemone spitting cloudy stuff!!!

[jrlim]

ok.. i'm kinda worried here. my RTBA started spitting out cloudy slime/liquid... like it bursted or something and my tank is getting cloudy also. It is starting to shrink a little bit. My other corals in the tank are doing okay so far. I haven't noticed any changes on them. Is this a good sign or bad? most likely bad... hopefully you guys can help me on this... this is the first time i've seen it happened.

tank has been running for 2 years
29 gallon tank
did 10% water change yesterday
had anemone for about 6 months

Was it milky colored? It could be spawning.

You might want to do a small waterchange, otherwise, cool

spawning? hmm.. i dunno. It's milky color. It just shriveled up and all the tentacles look deflated. now it is in a small ball size and when it spits out the milk... the clownfish would eat the stuff.

Sounds like a spawning event. Keep the water changes going and watch for any ammonia issues. You have a male, most likely.
