Torch coral with opened mouth

[ssunthar]

Hi Experts,

Noticed the mouth of my torch opened especially at night... didn't noticed this behavior in the past..

I don't see the same behaviour during the day.. it seems happy.

Is this normal for torch?

Thanks.

It’s probably feeding on the micro fauna like phyto in the night.

I am having the same issue with my torch coral but it looks as if something is also coming out of the mouth. Does anyone else have any advice as to what is going on when the coral does this. I have another torch alongside it that is growing nicely as was this one until I started noticing this problem.

That looks like brown jelly disease to me - its been awhile since you posted any updates?

Something coming out of the mouth is normal too... it is the way they poop. How is the torch now?
