What causes this ?

What causes this? See white fluzzy.

Other coral releases toxic?

Any tips will be great!

Thanks

I don't see what your getting at. Other than if they are to close together LPS will release their sweeper tentacles, and they can mow down a coral next to them.

You should be checking your water params then, doesn't sound good to me.

I had this feeling it was caused by mushroom cuz i removed 2 of mushroom and i noticed purple slime like spit out of mouth this early afternoon

Guess add carbon and WC

Stray voltage maybe?

Did you do the water change before or after the pictures?

Jakef150 · Feb 23, 2014

After then again did 2g WC and added carbon ( total 3 tbsp of BRS rox carbon )

I usually change 2 tbsp of BRS rox every 2 week

It's biocube 29 with approx 23-24 saltwater

From the pictures, or at least the second pictures, it appears the coral is protruding its guts. I've had this happen to several of my corals and looks nothing like feeder tentacles. Most times its in response to a lack of food/nutrients. I've seen this displayed during the day and night, but like I said, it appears as a mass of white strings, filament like. Maybe spot feed both of those corals for a few days and see if that changes things.
