Are you sure that wasn't from the burrito it had for lunch?

... maybe this thread should be entitled "patrickb's Clam Propogation Tank"! Nice job ... the tank is looking great.

What was the date (autumnal equinox) and how old is the clam?
That is a very cool event!

 

[Apon]

was that all it did? normally it can cloud up your water and then you can have issues....did you do a water change afterwards?

That looks more like an aquatic fart.

The spawning happened on Oct 1st. I just checked the autumnal equinox and it occurred on Sept. 23rd so I'm not sure if there is a connection.

I've had the clam for about 3 years now and got it as a 2 inch little baby. My clam is all grows up now. I'm gonna have to have the awkward bees and birds talk with it later this week. Its important that the clam know where baby clams come from.

Thought this was interesting, in a naughty reef sort of way.

I've seem bristle worms spawn. It happened in my 28g Nano. Just recently saw my stomatella snails spawn two days in a row. The stomatella was the best cause one would send out a cloud of semen and another would send out eggs.

They are easily induced into spawning with numerous parameter changes (as noted he did a water change )
