Torch coral

[drnecropolis]

My torch is releasing "Orange Strands" from one on the mouths.. all water params are in check. It closed up about 20 mintues ago and started doing this... Nothing is touching it to sting it..Any ideas?

Noone knows anything?? like maybe its expelling waste?

I have heard that LPS will occasionally 'shut down' so that they can expel waste. Perhaps that is what yours is doing. You have much more experience than me in reefing though

Yep, I would say its expelling waste or excess zoanthille algea.

The concept of seeing zooxanthellae expelling is new to me.
