    Can you get an image of the tank.

    I would think a 75 gallon should be able to handle a maxi-mini spawn. I image the fish, hermits, corals will probably eat some of it.

    Do you use Reef Crystal salt?

    At this point I would give it an hour or two and see how it goes if no one is showing signs of stress.

    i would have thought a 75 gal would handle it np - and the mini maxi is only the size of a CD when fully inflated. The amount that came out was unbelievable. I just tried to take a photo but the lights are out and it's hard to tell - but it is hazy and milky.
    I will do a 10 gal change tomorrow.
    will the corals eat it too? I hope this is not a regular occurrence

    Yes any corals actively feeding and filter feeders should eat some of it. Not typically a regular thing. I just do not see a lot of people reporting maxi-mini spawning. I had a small silver dollar sized one to it in my 30 gal once and never again. Wonder what triggered it? Will never know but interesting non the less. Did the anemone return back to normal shape and inflation?

    Update first thing this morning - things still look hazy - everything looks fine so far (before lights on) The mini maxi looks normal (small) for this time of the day)
    Heading off to work and will do a WC tonight.

    I have had no issues with mine actually a beautiful creature. I looked every where to find any others that had this happen and could not find it. All the corals seem fine - actually my chili coral came out more then ever. It just freaked me out by the amount that came out and the sight of the water quality after :eek: - In the end it was like a hand full of muddy sand being thrown at the powerhead.
