HI all,

Last night I was testing my tank water parameters and witnessed the most unusual anemone behavior. One of my RBTA began releasing tiny soft white beads. At first, I thought it was just waste being expelled, but eventually after 5 minutes the tank looked like a shaken snow globe. These beads were everywhere! When the anemone was done it was completely deflated and tentacles were long and stringy.

Where was my phone to record all of this?! @#$%^!?

So, I'm looking to verify if this was my anemone trying to reproduce or is this a health issue?

Water parameters as of last night.
1.025 g
25°C
8.7 dKH
Ca 470
Mg 1470
Po4 0.05ppm

Thanks for reading my post.
 
Reporting today, my anemone is looking great again. :) (we need some coral emojis)
