Urchin Q.


I did not get a pic, but what in the world is this white stuff being secreted from my urchins top side. Looks to be coming out in about 5 different places. It is a Tuxedo by the way.

I have seen the solid stuff, But I am talking about a stream that seams to make the water cloudy... It went on for about 5-10minutes last night.

Yep spawning. Sometimes a water change would trigger this mine.
