Chalice expelling stringy stuff?

[kevinf]

I'm new to chalices & feeding. I fed it some reef roids & it expelled some sort of stringy/web like stuff.
What is it?

Coral waste, or, maybe zooxanthellae -- is it brown stringy stuff? If so, possibly zooxanthellae -- corals will purge them from time to time when they have too many.

It was white. Happened as soon as I target fed it.
Thanks for your help.

Its just mucus.. Happens to mine all the time when target fed. I believe it helps them pull in more food.

Yeah. Mine have had mucous strings with food in it as high as to the top off the tank( 24"). just a feeding coral. Keep the pumps off for about 35 mins and they will reel in the strings.
