Lobo expelling black smoke

Fuzzywuzy · Nov 11, 2021

So... I was jetting some sand off my lobo with a coral feeder when it suddenly deflated and puffed out a cloud of what looks like black smoke (which dissipated quick quickly).

It looks ok? But what was that?? Poop? Some kinda self defence mechanism??

Most likely expelling waste. Could have been triggered with the sand cleaning. You must have scared the poop out of it.

Most likely poopin! If you catch it in the act again, make sure to take a picture and submit it to the coral poop thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/coral-poop-showoff-thread.868387/ lol

I'm more surprised that you're surprised a thread like that exists! Haha. I'm waiting for the fish pooing thread. LOL

Trust me I would but apparently my fish don't poo. In the four months my tank has been up I have not once seen them poo. They're the cleanest fish on the planet!! I wasn't able to contribute to the coral pooing thread (no corals yet) and as of now wouldn't be able to contribute to a fish pooing thread either! Haha.
