Snails releasing unusual white stuff

[supersmile]

Last night my snails in my tank (not Mexican turbo's their shells are conicle and purple in color) were releasing white stuff. It almost looked like smoke coming from them but it wasn't. All of them were doing it at the same time. What was this and why do they do this??? Any ideas?

If so they are probably spawning.

Definately spawning.
It can be a regular occerance in home aquariums.

as far as i know, raising marine snails is NOT easy. so in other words i doubt you're gonna have wee lil baby snails running around. but hey, they did spawn so who knows, maybe some will survive!
