smoking anemone

[Huggyjd]

My long tenicle anemone started to shrink up this morning then it started to smoke out the mouth. Any ideas what is occurring?

spawning ?

 

[Huggyjd]

Is this smoke toxic?

I dont have own experiences but might be... there are articles on the net that suggest so.... Water gets milky, corals nearby start shrinking etc... anyhow it would be good idea to set your skimmer for wet skimming..

Congrats you have a Male Anemone. He is spawning. The white stuff (sperm Im guessing) is not toxic. But you will need to do water changes to clear up the water and keep the water quality at its finest, dont let ammonia, trites,trates get out of hand.

Good Luck
