Hi,

I just got a new Acan on Saturday. Today evening i see some reddish stringy thing coming out of its mouth from couple of heads. I target fed it on Sunday with reef roids. Its in med/low flow and in a corner (less light) i moved it once from front-middle to front corner. Any idea what it could be?

Water params-
Salinity-1.026
Nitrate and phosphate- undetectable
NH3, NO2- 0
Calcium-500
Alk-8
pH-8
Temp-78

Pic below (not clear enough to show the strings but this is now it looks)

It’s the white spaghetti stuff you should worry about, that’s the intestines of it.
They look happy to me :)
