Sure hope somebody can help me - Recently added a frag of Eagle Eye Zoa's to my tank with other corals. Everything opened up fine and have looked great, the Eagle Eyes being the exception. Opened sporadically and only a few of them. Now, some of them are looking like they are turning black inside and although closed, appear to be expelling this blackish whatever.
Any ideas ? Thank you in advance.

That black stuff that's being expelled might be Zooxanthellae. Sometimes when a coral is receiving too much light this will happen. You might want to find them some shade for awhile and see how they respond. GL.
 
Thanks for the replies. I have moved them into the opening of the small cave in rock work. Minimal flow and light for now.
