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.
