Turbo snail

[Rothany]

So I bought a turbo snail at Barrier Reef sale today. I threw it in my tank,I looked away for a minute,then turned back and saw my water filled with lots of stuff floating around. So I looked closer and saw the turbo snail shooting eggs everywhere very cool The single chromis I had in my tank is having a feast lol. Heres some pics

Thats a lot of eggs.
What happened was the snail had a spontaneous reaction to the water parameter change and it released the eggs from stress. Normally they will lay them on the rock or glass. Broadcasting is not normal for them.
All inverts and incrustations should be acclimated to the new environment just like fish and corals.
I am sure the chromis isn't complaining though
