Derasa Clam spawning ?
 
mine keeps squirting these white stringy fluids....

Kind of like this? Sounds like spawning to me. Beware though, clams often spawn when stressed and close to dying as a last ditch effort to save their genetics. And the gametes(?) can really pollute a small system. But sometimes they just do it for fun too like the rest of us.
