Just noticed that one of the Zoa Colonies in my tank had what looks like sweeper tentacles coming out of their mouths. Tried to Google what it was. Saw a post on another forum but little to know answers giving clarity. Do Zoa’s Poop ??? I know they don’t have sweepers, so figured I rely on the local experts from R2R to shine some light on the situation.

Many corals have a single opening so their intake and outflow is the same. Crazy stuff!
