Bristleworms ejecting hot pink goo?

[prisonspider]

Just got done with my normal weekly water change and soon afterwards I noticed some hot pink goo glowing under my actinic bulb? as I was checking it out I then noticed about 5 bristleworms all popping out of the rocks almost simultaneously all ejecting this hot pink goo into the water. I can only guess this is a bristleworm mating thing ... but wasn't sure?

 

Any ideas what's going on? is this bristleworms spawning?

I don't know, but do you have pics? That would be really cool to see.

Did you put some slow jams on?? Haha. I would like to see a vid or a pic aswell.

Cool. Pink goo glowing! Just like in CSI.

Sorry no pics or video ... (it was over an done before I could grab a camera)

Just seeing if anyone knew what was going on?

 

I'll just assume Bristleworm LOVE was in the air (or water in this case)

i had this too on my bubble coral when it was infested with bristle worms, i removed everything quickly as i see so many eating the coral. they leave behind some pink slime

i dont know if this is the same but i was smashing up some live rock today and when they cracked in half i would see some holes with a worm and that pink goo coming out . . . maybe mine was blood though ha.

Are you sure it was bristle worms who ate your coral?

Just had the same thing happen in my 5yr old reef tank. I've never seen it before in my life and I work with tanks professionally. I also came to the c pool inclusion it was spawning. But in my research I came across this post and had to share my confusion Haha
