Anemone releasing something..?

SimpleAznMan · 11/04/2009, 12:34 AM

I was checking out my tank tonight and noticed short bursts of cloudy stuff coming out of my White Sebae Anemone. Its not stringy... but just short bursts of cloudy stuff that dissipates into the surrounding water and clears up almost instantly. Anyone have an idea as to what its doing..?

It looks healthy (it was pretty bad when I first picked it up)... and acts healthy... Was thinking about target feeding it some stuff within the next week or so. It finds itself a spot in the sand bed, does not hide under my rocks, sits in a cup shape, mouth closed (it was open when I first go it), it deflates and inflates tentacles regularly and not for prolonged periods of time, and it cups up when anything touches the tentacles.. all healthy/normal behavior yes? So whats the short burst of cloudy stuff..?

I did catch my false percula clown sleeping in it last night.

It's spawning. Search for "spawning anemone" on this forum will produce many results.
