Poop? Or what is it

[jorge0912]

I saw this brown string coming out of my gold ocstapawn.. it was there for a while and then came off and dispersed into the water went everywhere...
got some pics can anyone tell me what it is.
Lights were off corals were all asleep but I always check on everything rigth before I go to bed

Looks like waste to me

Also the Duncan’s are expelling it out from their mouth

Then I may be wrong. Hopefully more will chime in

Yes it looks like "poop" to me :D
I rmeebr when I first saw my Duncan's doing this I freaked out, I thought they were dying! But turns out the eat and poop from the same orifice. There is always room for doubt but your coral loos fine to me. Watch the coral it should be fine tomorrow ;)

Lol I was freaking out for nothing I guess all them look fine now no brown or anything light arent on yet but I can see them good...
I guess it was poop night for them

Euphyllias really shrivel up when they expel waste like this, my gold torch does it a couple of times a month and each time I see it have to do a double take because it really looks stressed out haha

I see no wonder my gold ocstapawn has not opened up

 

[jorge0912]

Corals still look ticked off but I don’t see any kind of illness
