Clam spawning

It wasn't a very big spawn, if that's what it was. I only noticed it because it started right as I shut the pumps off to feed the fish just now - out of the corner of my eye I noticed (gross warning) a jet of what snot looks like when you've been in the pool for too long erupting at an angle from the rock it's on.

It wasn't cloudy, more chunky. It might have just been poop?

Doesn't really sound like spawning. Spawning is like it's shooting milk out. It will squeeze the shell together as it lets a squirt out. Skimmer will be going nuts. Sometimes they will spawn for hours, and if you have more than one clam, one spawning will often trigger the others too, so it can get ridiculous.
