tubro grazzer smoking??!!??

[reefpanda]

hey guys
so today i bought a turbo grazer from my local pet store
and i put it in the tank, and it did this thing which looked like it was sneezing (twice)
and then it started releasing this whitish clear substance from under its shell
does anyone know what it could possibly be doing

 

[bjohanson1234]

Spawning is my guess.

 

[reefpanda]

its been doing this since like 1 and its nearly seven oclock right now

i called the pet store and they said it could be spawning, dying :(, or maybe it got air stuck under the shell and its releasing it, but i dont think its that one

 

[yote]

Its spawning.

 

[Smitty]

+1 to all.

 

[Melosu58]

I`ve seen it before. Spawning is it.

 

[reefpanda]

is it normal for it to not move at all while its doing this
and do they need a partner to reproduce
i heard of some snails producing asexually
is this the case with the turbo grazers

 

[dcantucson]

I agree with its spawning.
I think it needs another to produce to fertilize the eggs once they are laid.
Just speculating.

 

[Bifferwine]

Sperm. They will still spawn even if there are no other snails around.

 

[Wes888]

Yea, they seems to like to enjoy themselves right in the middle of the tank as well. Stand at the highest peak on the LR and ... release.

 

[dcantucson]

Now Wes don't get any ideas with your tank!!! :lol:
