Default Still don,t know why my snails are "smoking"

Anybody out there who can tell me why my snails are smoking for 2-3 h. White stuff looking like smoke comming out on the side of the snail. Does not cloud water.

They are mateing I believe, do you have anything that go nuts in the tank when they are doing this? Sometimes when this happens in my tank, my shrimps go nuts for the stem of "smoke" my royal gramma goes over for a "snack" as well, its good coral food

Are they paired up when they're "smoking"? If so, definite sign of mating. I had an orgy in my tank 1 night - all the snails paired up!!
