Hi guys,

I hope this is the best section where to post this very particular issue :eek:

I have a beautiful Tiger Cowrie who in the last two-three days is pooping these massive brown wires (2 to 4 inches long) :eek:

The wires are so long that I have to help him get them off his butt. It almost look like zooxanthellae. They get stuck between rocks and sometimes it's very hard to manually remove.

I am attaching the only picture I have but unfortunately it's a very small broken piece. Imagine something 7-8 times longer than this!

Help please!

I mean, I just want to make sure if it's normal to poop a 4inch wire? :anguished-face:

I had the Cowrie from almost 3 months and this never happened before.

I am quite new to the hobby!
