Well, a year ago I was holding some clams for someone in my tank and they spawned. Woke up to a stinking white mess in my tank. Could barely see inside. It was nasty and really did a number on the corals and clams. Had to do 2 or 3 big water changes and lots of carbon and purigen to finally get the water clear again.

I took a video of the large maxima in the 500g display at work , i just happened to witness it spawning and got it on video , this lasted for about 20mins.
If its a large clam when it spawns you'll know it lol although with my water volume the tank was more of a hazy white than a complete white out

Clam spawns will happen on occasion. You have to be careful because one can usually set off a number of them and then you have a small problem on your hands.
That said ... a spawn is unmistakably .. a ... um ... a spawn (there's no delicate way to say this or what it smells like). Dark and chunky expellate (is that a word? You know what I mean) may just be expelling zooxanthellae. This also happens from time to time. Spring cleaning, in a manner of speaking, I suppose.
