My anemone is smoking!

[BlayneMan]

It looks like my BTA is smoking. It is letting off some white stuff that is clouding up the whole tank. Itââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s about 4 months old. Should I be worried?

[BlayneMan]

All the fish are atracted by whatever it is letting off. why is it doing this?

It's spawning.

That is certainly what it sounds like.

oneczy.. why would you remove it??

yep. spawning

 

[boomsticks]

Should you change the water?

 

[BlayneMan]

Well it finished spawning. And it looks better than ever. All my corals and fish are doing fine. The process only lasted about 5 minutes, and put off a ton of white stuff. Just to be sure I did a water change and replaced my carbon. Maybe if I had a female they would have made baby BTAââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s?

 

[onecrzyboi4u]

i was told when they did that to remove it..

 

[dantodd]

water change and carbon. You did exactly the right things.

No need to remove it, just a water change and new carbon will clear it up, it is free food for the corals also.
It is a sign of good health in your anemone.
Removing it is silly.
Now it needs a cig
