Hello, I noticed my torch was emitting a brown liquid and retracted. I also noticed these brown spots on the tentacles. Does someone know what this may be? I did recently move him so perhaps it was stressful. Thanks for your help.

Looks like he his pooping. Pretty normal it should go back to it’s normal look but if it doesn’t you’ve got a bigger problem at hand.

Okay, he seems to be slowly nursing back to health. What would a bigger problem at hand be?
The larger problem would be brown jelly. Its an extremely aggressive infection that would kill the animal in days if not hours. Not fun. But I wouldnt worry, yours is just pooping!
