I caught my torch pooping on my video idk if anyone cares but I thought it was really cool to see. New to reefing so it was a new experience to me.

So my torch got real weird looking like shrunken and wide and then started inflating again and then pushed the poop out! Then the torch shrunk in real tight like it was stressed, but all day yesterday he was bigger then before and looked awesome! It also seems he split after? I read they can do this from stress but in the time I’ve had him it seems like he’s growing rapidly and starting a new head!

anyone got any cool coral poops or videos to share?

Incase my video upload doesn’t work you can see it here!

Can’t see video on my phone but assure it’s not expelling zooxanthellae due to lack of light or water flow issue

No the torch is really healthy. Have proper lights, medium flow in his area. Spot fed. I got him from a shadier store trying to find a LFS I was going to use and he really blossomed. He looks much much much better than when I got him, almost double in size!
 
Me too! I target fed my corals some benepets and happened to walk by the tank about an hour later and found my torch doin its business.
