Could you describe this part in more detail? It almost sounds like they release gametes, but I don't know what would have triggered it (usually it's shortly after the first full moon in August, I think.)

The stuff that was moving around... what did it look like?

Poci's have a tendancy to release polyps and you'll notice baby colonies other places in your tank. I don't remember the scientific term for it but I hope that helps.
