what the heck is my urchin doing????

I was hand feeding mysis to some corals and looked over to it doing this?? It spirals out the top and then dissipates. It’s been 10min since I noticed and it’s still doing it. Will it crash the tank?

Someone please tell me it’s just pooping and I wasn’t arms deep in what I think it is. I’m seriously going to throw up lol

Maybe reproduction attempt like stomatella is my guess

That’s what I was guessing

Spawning, they do that mostly when they are stressed, but they can also do it just for the heck of it.
I once had 24 of them all spawn at once. What a mess.

You were arm deep in exactly what you thought it was.

Or in other words:
You were arm deep in urchin sperm. Least it was diluted though. lol
