White stuff coming from Tuxedo urchins back?

[SaltyTemple]

This milky white substance is leeching out of my tuxedo urchin?!?!?! What's going on?

I just put him in and aclimated him normally. HELP:exclaim:

Whew - good lord, it seems like he's releasing his "man juice" How odd! It's clouding my tank pretty severely!

Shauna, they get rid of waste that way too, looks like fine sand coming out of the top of them....

 

[SaltyTemple]

looked like white toothpaste

Shauna - did it look like this? Urchin Spawning

It may have been a response to stress. You might want to get a water change in, if your tank became very cloudy.

Yup - just like that I cleaned my skimmer capture and it seems fine, I thought someone took a stab at him and he punctured himself or something! he he, probably could have done more research on him
