What is on my torch coral

[Fishn28]

Has anyone seen something like this???

It seems to be coming from the mouth of the coral

Poop most likely.

 

[Gtinnel]

Looks like it’s pooping to me too

I'd assume it's expelling zooxanthelae. Corals do that both when they're unhappy and to regulate the number of zooxanthelae they have.

Yep mine do the same thing occasionally.

Do you have any experience with how long it takes ricordea to open up?
