akish5 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I know it sounds crazy but it's the best way I can describe it. It seems about every couple of hours something shoots out of my rock like a volcano. Projecting a bunch of slime of some sort into the water. At first I thought it was my sea urchin but it happens at different parts of that tank and I know the urchin can't move that fast. Any ideas on what it could be? ? Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Something spawning maybe. Worms. Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Video or pictures? If it looks like big white puffs of smoke its most likely a spawning of some kind. Link to comment

Steensj2004 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Bristle Worm spawning IMHO. Watched mine multiple times come out slightly, and jizz all over my tank..... gross.. Link to comment
Weasel Baron Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Could also be a vermatid, I have a few that spew their mucus every couple days Link to comment
akish5 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 I have seen 2 bristle worms in my tank. Im just not sure if they are the culprits. Should I try to get rid of the bristle worms? I know they can be beneficial to a clean up crew that's the only reason they have made it this far. Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Bristle worms are beneficial IMO, they're detritivores. Do you have any stomatellas? I have stomatellas and they usually puff out a cloud of eggs/sperm when they spawn. Link to comment
