New plate coral… is it pooping or fighting?

[witchywoman725]

So I just brought this new plate coral home from my LFS. All my parameters are a but high, but in range and I have lots of LPS thriving in the tank. My nitrates are a bit high but my ATS lights just blew tonight, so I upped the skimmer and AWC to compensate until I can replace it. Since I haven’t had one before and I haven’t fed yet… is this the plate pooping? Or do I need to move him (expelling zooxanthellae? Fighting with his neighbor?)

Thats its mouth, so I guess its just pooping. It looks fine.
