Blue Tuxedo Urchin? Feeding response or Spawning

So I have 2 of these blue tuxedos for about 6 months.
Today I was broadcast coral feeding some reefroids
Suddenly one after the other they started secreting thick whitish cloudy stuff from the top their center,
Lasted for about 10 minutes
I took Iphone video, see below

Any one with experience know what is happening???

Hmm, the videos were posted improperly (i.e., they're unable to open).

Sounds like possible breeding behavior.

I have a white pincussion.. if i do a big watwr change.. or if he/she is in the mood.. it will make its way to the top of the tank in the evening and will excrete the white cloud for 8 to 10 minutes... enough sperm or gammets to cloud up both my 90 display and 49 gallon fuge
