Yep, sounds like you have a boy. Males release sperm into the water when they spawn, usually they spawn around the time the lights go off or maybe half-hour after the lights are off. They will become elongate and then release a smoky looking substance. Sometimes an anemone will spawn several days consecutively. Sounds like it is probably a healthy male LTA. Anemone spawn can be detrimental to other inhabitants, but it is a bigger deal when it is a female. The eggs and other spawning material of the female is more toxic and places a higher load on the tank.
