Anyone had experience keeping Coco Worms?

Hi all, was reading the forums and glacing to admire the beauty of reef life when I suddenly noticed something going on in the refugium! Check this out... is this spawning activity or is it just regurgitating what it ate... or normal waste dumping?

Just a notable thing though, it has been hiding the last few days, ie not coming out of its tube and when it did today, it did this!

It does look like some spawning activity... hope your PS is working to remove all the sudden er.... protein...

Woke up the next day with about 1 cm of black liquid and foam in the skimmer cup. Loads more of errrr... protein than usual.

Yeah, happened to my coco worms too. It started with one big coco worm "puking" out this red slime. And then my other coco worms also started puking out white slime. Was pretty disgusting cause the red slime stretch across my whole 6ft tank.
