Asap emergency - anemone

Help
My Anemone appears to be smoking from the mouth / butt center.
What is this ?? Looks real bad also


Cheers

 

its pooping

 

I have seen what I thought was poop before, this is different.
It is making the water cludy and it looks like smoke.

 

Kinda like this I guess.
Spawning ??

Is this bad ? Sounds like water changes and carbon are in order

you may have a bagillion baby nems in your tank in a bit

 

if its spawning sexually that means that its doing pretty good. still run your carbon and look into it more to see if a water change is in order.

 

If it doenst look horrible, it's most likely spawning, either spewing sperm or egges into the water. I would suggest running carbon and making a heavy water change.

how long have you had it? what type of anemoen is it? can you post a picture? what type of lighting/tank size do you have? how long has the tank been set up?

 

Pictures are not coming out good..
I have had it for almost a year in a 110. It is a Green Bulb Tip.

I will be doing WC and carbon anyway, but kinda freeked out..

It does not look good, but this thing does that. It is big one day, then shrivels up after feeding. It is not in it's shrivled stage but did not feed it yesterday.

Hopefully not dying..

 

Since you said you've had it for a year, I'm definitely leaning towards a spawn(You didnt do anything to change the chemistry or balance of the tank did you?) Which is good news. It means you are taking very good care of this anemone. In a 110 you wont have to worry about its spawn that much, but carbon and a small water change will easy any worries. Grats on good husbandry for an anemone!
