I just turned my circulation pump on after a couple days of having it off so one of my frags could cling to a rock and as soon as i turned it on a bunch of white milky stuff started coming out from behind one of my rocks then soon after a bunch of eggs started coming out. then a bunch of stringy stuff started coming out of my rocks and out of my flowerpot but none of my other coral. i no coral spawns like this in the wild but i was wondering if something else in my tank could be spawning the same way.
 
Out of your rocks or from your rocks? I know sea cucumbers will release part of their intestinal tracks when in distress these have bad tasting toxins on them. If this happens it can do a number on other tank inhabitants. They do this usually from being preyed upon but bad conditions can cause this as well. Most sessile inverts broadcast spawn. Some of it will be eaten by fish and broken down. Depending on what it is you may have a coral spreading issure in the future.
