Mass Spawning Event

So, I just recently got a BTA for my reef tank. Seems to be all happy fully inflated spreading out nicely. Everything else has been happy as well. About an hour or two ago I went to go look at my tank and noticed my BTA was extended upwards inflated and spread and in mid spawning event. Cloudied up my water. Lasted about 45 minutes was quite surprised never saw this before. Only reason I know what it is is because I googled it. Shortly before this though I noticed a few of my Margarita Snails acting strangely, or mating. And low and behold after the BTA deflated and shrunk up, 1 of my snails started a spawning event as well. Luckily I just replaced my carbon a few hours prior to this. but it is quite fascinating to watch. My black clown and my royal gramma sat there staring at the BTA during it's event. All I need now is my Derasa clam to start it's spawning as well. lol. But time to do a water change.
