Torch "oozing" brown stringy stuff

[JimCali75]

Ok so I googled this and the 2 most common results are that it's expelling zooxanthella and or poopin. Has me worried as I've never seen it do this in the 4 months I've had it. I haven't changed lighting intensity or moved it recently. I just added a Royal Gramma that's taken up residence nearby and has kicked up some sand around the torch. That's the only change I can account for. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thx

Its hard to say with the pix. It could be just poop. How often do you feed? It is not the fish so no worry there. Mine poop a day or so after i feed them. After that length of time if it was lighting it may have shown some stress before now. Hopefully it will be normal in a day or so but if not. Post your water perimeters. There are several things other than light that can cause zooxanthellae loss.
