I just woke up to see my tank all cloudy and a bunch of little balls/pellets everywhere. the tank is an anemone tank and theses balls look like they're coming out an anemone that is behind a rock because I see it leading from part of the nem. i netted as much as I could. All the nems are gbta uploadfromtaptalk1450259140563.jpg
 
Looking online it seems that the nems may have been spawning. What should I do? Just leave it be or what?
Thanks
 
Well to be totally honest it looks like pellet food.
Yah it's not pellet food, because I don't feed this tank pellets and I don't even have any pellets that small. Also when they were coming out of the nem they were all connected in like a mucus. I'm pretty sure they were spawning after reading multiple things online
 
I've had a GBTA do this a couple of times, I also assumed it was spawning. Some of the eggs (?) would get stuck on the inside of the tentacles, and the nem wouldn't purge them for several days.
 
They may get sucked up into the skimmer in the sump. I imagine they need lots of phytoplankton and zooplankton to survive this phase of they were fertilized and viable. Good luck! That's super cool
