My new crocea is spawning

[ento-reefer]

I just got finished acclimating my new crocea about 1.5 hours ago and he started sending puffs of sperm out into the water. he is about 4-4.5 inches and looks great otherwise. Is this a normal thing to do after shipping? Should I be concerned? He looks great otherwise. My tank parameters are:

amonia-0
nitrite-0
nitrate-0
ph-8.3
kh-9
calcium-420

I will try and post some photos soon. Thanks.

stress induced spawning, just keep a close eye on it and make sure nothing is bothering it

Okay thanks. Do you think I will need to do a water change? The water doesn't look cloudy and my other corals look fine.

thanks Reef Mongose. I got him from Zoanuts. I think the green rim is very cool.

He has stopped spawning and looks really good. I hope he attaches to the rockwork soon so I don't have to worry about him falling.

He stopped after a few minutes. It was the first time I have ever seen a clam do that in person. He is looking really good. I may do a 10% change tomorrow morning just to be sure.
