After feeding my fishes, suddenly noticed that my cocoworm was ejaculating this white stuff into the water :blink:

Here is a

of it.

So its it spawning? How come the cleaner shrimp are eating the stuff? :sick::sick:

Water turned cloudy but cleared up after around 1 hr.

I guess probably this maybe a defense system by cocoworm. From the video you have shown in youtube. It seems like the ejaculation of the white stuff when ur pretty prawn is around.

If it's for sea cucumber, the white stuff that it was ejaculated is known as Cuverian tubules. This Cuverian tubules will be ejaculated out when sea cucumber sense that there is predator that want to attack them.

My assumption is because of the defense system. So how was ur cocoworm right now?

Cocoworm is doing ok. Actually I took the video after it was ejaculating for some time. When it first started, the prawns were nowhere near it.

If its a defense mechanism then I would think that the prawns will not be going near the stuff. But I can see that the prawns were eating it... like some bukkake orgy :lol:
