Help - Nem making tank cloudy

[hfleming]

I have a large GBTA that is squirting out a very white cloudy liquid. I'm not sure if this is bad. It is not deflated but it is a little smaller than normal

It did this last night and just started before the lights went off tonight.

Do BTA's spawn?

It might be starting to bleach a little, it's hard to tell.

It is around 12" diameter. I have had it 3 years. It split a few years ago, it's split is about the same size and sits right next to it.

There is a green carpet nem nearby.

There is a RBTA in the same tank.

Tank is a 150 with 2x400w metal halides. Water quality is good.

I change 10% water each week.

Would think spawning.

I hope so.

I have actually done a lot of research about the nems but somehow have never realized they can spawn.

pretty sure its poop i hear a lot saying that it's spawning but with my nem it does this after i feed it a lot at one time its like a milky string that keeps coming and it will stretch and contract. the whole tank is cloudy it has happened like 5 times in 7 years and every time its after a big feeding

Nothing stringy and I don't feed those nems much at all. I'm leaning toward spawning. It looks normal this morning.

Most likely spawning. All anemones spawn. Did you notice any change in the RBTA while this was taking place?

 

[hfleming]

No, the RBTA looked normal.

Spawning....
