Noticed the skimmer running a bit extra last night - thought hmm. Woke up this morning and my cube was as cloudy as a Washington coastal day lol
Checked everything - couldnt figure it out. Than I remembered a friend that had a clam spawn in a 20g and had the same effect. So went back to inspecting and found 6 large snails still at it. Some spermy some eggs. There were thousands blowing around. Also made the tank a lil extra stinky this morning lol. Heres a video to give an idea.

I have seen my stomi snails (lil almost shell-less ones) do this many times. Thought it cool this time as I have never seen my asterea snails do it. Or maybe just never caught it as they had always been in the big tank. Moved um to the cube a few days back for them to put in a bit of cleanup work, and im guessing with the smaller space provided it mustve just been A LOT more noticable :) Man it stinks in here today lol
 
well got home from work n all cleared up - tank also doesnt stink anymore lol it was bad this morning
