Torch releasing eggs?

[treebear87]

Hi all! I’ve been watching this torch today because it looked fine in the am then at about 2pm it looked super whimpy and was releasing a clear mucus with white dots in it. The fish were trying to eat it so after doing a brief web search I decided to turn off the pumps etc and stand guard chasing off fish so it could settle somewhere. What do y’all think?? Spawn?

According to what I’ve read this is typical behavior for Aussie gold (I don’t think that’s what I have-pretty sure I have an indo) near a full moon but in dec….
its pretty much back to its normal now.

It looks like they are releasing the tips of their 'tentacles' - which may be able to produce a new colony if it lands somewhere proper. @Thales?

Yes, it is spawning. My torch did this a few times also.

Unfortunately every egg (or whatever they are) was eaten within seconds by fish lol.
