My tank is super hazy and i see white stuff spewing out of my truchous snail. Isthis spawning or is my tank being nuked. Help please. Should i do a water change ?

Sounds like a spawn.
How large is the tank?
Make up some water for a water change just in case you need it.
Test basic chemistry ammonia.
Post an image if able.

Im hoping its a spawn, thatd be a big indicator of the quality of water im keeping and a big boost in confidence. Really hoping it is because the coral should get a big boost of energy

If it happened all at once and you didn't dose anything recently or you have a ATO with kalkwasser in it and it dumped a ton of it in all at once, then it was as you said, a snail spawn.

Test your water pramameters for reassurance.

I checked my dosing resivors they are good i dont dose kalk any more. And im visualy seeing this snail spewing white streams of whatever that then disperses into a clound throughout the tank. This is by far the wildest thing ive ever seen in the hobby. Only downfall is now my 5 year old who is fascinated with the reef tank is asking what spawning is soooooo yeah should be a fun talk lol. Honestly guys i was worried this snail was posioning my tank somehow and thats why i posted here. I fraged some stuff took it to a buddy was go e for an hour and when i came back this is what i found. Honestly went into a full blown panic.

How long would you exspect "things to stay suspended and have my tank looking cruddy. I really dont want to do a water change tonight even though I do them every saturday. i would really like things to have a chance to be semi natural for once and give them a chance to absorb this stuff.

It should clear in a couple hours. If your water pramameters are good, let it do it's thing.

Im running test now. Since ive had time to observer this i should focus on ammonia i would suspect. Any thing else i should be concerned about. I would think aLk cal and mag wouldnt be a big concern here
