Anemone Expelling White Stringy Stuff (With Video)

[ShaggyRS6]

So I have seen my nem expel the brown stuff. But never white stringy stuff. It’s gone really small and I can see it’s mouth.

I believe it's "pooping". Did you feed it recently?

Yeah I fed it a slice of clam!

Mine occasionally do that also, it's normal.

It's balled up right now, but then it is 6:30am here and dark. Wife will keep an eye on it.

Yea mine close up until lights start coming up. Been doing that for years,

Nems do alot of interesting things - mine close up, their shapes change when I'm scraping algae off the glass. They're a great barometer of tank health, if the flow is correct and lighting is good they get as big as dinner plates. I've been feeding mine little-neck clams (after reading Paul B's thread) and they have split numerous times. These guys are 15+ years old with a matched pair of maroon clowns same age.

Well I had been feeding silver side until last night. With the silverside I would get brown poop stuff, with the clam I got this clear stuff!
