Gunk around zoas

[KPH]

Hello all.

Any of you guys know what this stuff is? Noticed it yesterday morning around my fire and ice Zoas. They haven’t opened since Wednesday. Pulled the whole rock out and tweezerd as much out as I could without damaging the Zoas but there’s still some stuck to the polyps and they aren’t opening.

If you zoom in you can see it. Kinda cream colored. Has the consistency of a smooth paste almost. Did something pop? Is this poop? Never dealt with it before and I’ve had these Zoas for 6 months or so.

I just use one of those feeding tubes and give my zoas a small "dust-off" once a week. I honestly couldn't say what the stuff is (too hard to tell even zoomed in).

Yeah. It was thickly caked on yesterday and I got most of it off. Got a long baster and tried to blow off the rest. I don’t know what’s going on.
