Default Starfish pimple?

I have a fromia starfish (sea star) that has been in the tank for a few days. A few hours ago I noticed what looked like a pimple, dead-center on the top. A few minutes later the pimple expelled a stringy milky white substance. Now (an hour later) the pimple is barely noticeable.

Is this a normal star fish thing? Or something I should be worrying about?

Tank Parameters:
29G BioCube
Ammonia: 0
PH: 8.2 - 8.4
Salinity: 1.023
Calcium: 520
KH: 232ppm
Nitrate: 20ppm
Phosphate: .5

Thanks in advance.

Peace
