Any idea on what this black ooze type stuff is? It was coming out of all three heads at the same time and the torch is still healthy and extended currently. It seems to happen every now and then...

Haha that was one of my suspicions, the interesting thing is that they do synchronized poops

The tissue is not full and it seems to be expelling zooxanthellae which is its color and energy source and they do this when there is too much light which produces zooxanthellae faster than they can use it. Too little light and they shrivel.
