Hello, i just fed my corals and this weird stringy brownish orange stuff is coming out of my hammer coral. Is it poop or is it serious? Thanks!

Yes, it could be just poop.

It could also be expelling the zooxanthellae inside of it. Keep an eye out for any sign of bleaching.

It could also be brown jelly disease. Is it coming from it's mouth? If it is, then what's happening is 1 of the 2 things listed above.

If it's covering the coral like algae, then it's most likely brown jelly disease.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
