Strings after feeding reef roids.

[Van Eternal]

Hello Reefers,
I had recently purchased reef roids and started feeding my LPS corals, I have noticed that it leaves brown strings on the corals. My assumption is that my mixture is too dense and I am adding too little water ( i spot feed lps). Or is this a normal reaction ?

I am attaching a video of the strings.

I am pretty sure the coral is just "reeling" it in.

Perfectly normal. Thats the corals slime coat that has caught the food. Theyll suck in the food til theyre full then release it.

Just a warning use reef roids sparingly and keep an eye on phosphates

As long as you know how phosphate heavy they are, many start feeding it without knowing how itll raise phosphates. When you need to raise phosphates reef roids is the perfect way.
