HELP!!! BTA is spewing a milky substance...

[Virginia Reef]

I have had the BTA for several years and it has seemed very healthy (and had split numerous times over the years). Got home tonight and saw a milky substance in the water. It was coming from the BTA's mouth.

The BTA was greatly expanded this morning with the "colume between the foot and tentacles several times wider than normal.

Is this spawning? Death?

HELP!

I have had at least one BTA continuously for about 4 years and have never seent his before. I have not fed the BTAs for sevceral days. I normally feed tham about once a week (homemade frozen blender mush).

I have two other smaller BTAs in the tank. Both are clones of the larger one. They seem fine.

I think it is spawning. I would get skimmer and get ready for a water change. Spawned anemone can but a significan body amss in the water as eggs or sperm.

I thought that anemones split :?

I doubt that any anemone reproduce only by asexual mean. They got to have sex to spice up their life.

Thanks for the replies. I'm making water now. Will do a 25% water change tomorrow.

I've never seen this before. I have had the BTA for over 4 years. It has split a number of times...once into 3 equal parts.
