Paly's pooping

[Zoanuts]

Has anyone noticed after feeding at night the next morning the paly's burp up brown strings. Seems when I feed the next morning they do this?

What goes in must come out somewhere.

Yup, Ive seen them do that...long trails comming out, like thin cassette tape ribbon. Doesn't seem to harm anything.

Zoas and Palys seem to do this, and sometimes you will find an entire colony doing it at once.

From my experience these are the reasons why zoas/palys do #2.

Feeding them.
Stress from fragging, new to your tank, and general tank stress (swings in parameters).

In the end, if they are open and full I wouldn't worry about it.

they are expelling zoaxenthallae sic?
it is normal, sometimes they do it to photoadapt after a lighting change, sometimes for no apparent reason at all.

I am going to feed tonight and I will watch for it in the morning. Just interested to see.

If your zoas/palys do a #2 tomorrow you should take a picture of the zoas with you holding some TP in your hand (outside the tank of course). It would be a sure thing for the 2008 ZoaID calendar.

Rarely do I laugh out loud when reading a post, but you did it. "Mom, dad is on poddie patrol tonight". Is my new sig line.

He set his flashlight out for me!!! I almost crapped myself too I laughed so hard when he came around the corner with it. He had been in his room checking the batteries.
