Weird, i received five from an online vendor yesterday. I acclimated them, went to work, and came home to a tank that looked like milk. Upon closer inspection i noticed one was releasing sperm into the tank, (like your video,) and another was releasing eggs. This went on and off for a solid two hours.
 
Followed you over here, I just realized you wrote you did a "full water change". What do you mean by that? Just want to make sure you didn't just replace all of your established water with new water.
 
That's not a rock anemone (Epicystis crucifer), that's a maxi-mini (Stichodactyla tapetum). And, yes it's spawning.

i moved everything from my old wore out 75 gal to a new 75gal reef ready as can be seen here

and in the process did about a 85% water change because the tank had to go in the same place. and only had enough buckets to hold about 18gal of old water. but temp,salinty,ph all the same
