Odd thing happening and can't seem to find much searching around. My leprechaun frag has been closed up for a few days now, the day before it was closed it was expelling zooxanthellea it looked like. Fast forward 4 days and it's been closed with multiple brown zooxanthellea looking algae coming out the polyp? Looks more like an algae but the polyp itself is still plump and happy, and the baby polyp on the side is still open and growing. Didn't know if you'd have any thoughts?
