Torch coral Warfare or Suicide?

[Pelagikos]

Hey guys just started a new skimmer for the 1st time in 7 months and today my very healthy Until now torch seems to be spewing black. I also started dosing no pox is this something that I should be concerned about? Is it just excrement?

Difficult to say for sure. Siphon what you can with a turkey baster and see what happens... If it doesn't come back, it was just pooping

A good poop or its expelling Zooxanthellae

Either way, it's not "warfare".

Agree with that

Had a torch dealer tell me that it was warfare… I've never heard of a torch to doing it that way but I wasn't sure.

Your dealer either didn't understand what the torch was actually doing or he doesn't know a lot about coral, which could be a problem...

They will send out longer tentacles thats the warfare tentacles. This definitely is not whats going on

Absolutely. I've seen corals take a long enjoyable dump and I thought it was zoox. I would go with great big dump.
