I have a reef aquarium with an orange Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). The water was clear and everything seemed normal. Suddenly, within just a few minutes, the water became completely cloudy and milky white.
Just before the water turned cloudy, I noticed a white, smoke-like substance coming directly from the anemone. The anemone remained attached to the rock and its tissue appeared intact.
One additional detail: this anemone has a history of splitting and reproducing asexually, usually dividing into two anemones.
Could this have been a spawning event, mucus release, or something related to the anemone splitting? Is there a risk to the fish and corals, and what should I do immediately?
Does anyone know what this round, pale, meaty thing is on my bubble tip anemone? It started small and has grown bigger over the last 24 hours. Anemone seems fine. He’s anchored. Tentacles extended. Any ideas?
Need some help with my anemone what do you feed them, also how do I make them happier and fuller like the white one? Side note is it ok for this white anemone to be what looks like eating the molt of my cleaner shrimp?

I’m looking to buy a pair of clown fish with their hosted anemone, where can I find a website?
Update:
Got the Jebao auto dosing fine tuned now, parameters have been stable this week. I also added the CO wildfire nem to the tank and it has chosen a really cool spot right where my clowns hang out. I added a peppermint shrimp and a tuxedo urchin to take care of some aptasia and hair algae. I also got my little fuge running with chaeto and an auto feeder so the fish still get fed if I forget before I go to work. In the last pic, I got this 3D printed anemone/fish guard for my wave maker and I think it is genius lol
I've had my pair of clowns for 6 months now, and the original BTA (on the left) for 4 months. All of my animals are aquacultured as far as I know. How long did it take your clowns to figure out what an anemone was?
Finally anemone hosting pair clownfish, they like the far right anemone for some reason lol
My Red Sea Max Nano reef tank, home to a pair of clownfish, a canary blenny, and a pair of cardinals. The reef includes a bubble tip anemone, hammer corals, toadstools, candy cane coral, and a rock flower anemone.
Is my anemone splitting?
