squiddly July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 Do zoanthids often have long tendrils like worms coming out of the eye? This was brown and not white. I have a kinda ok photo, but I'm having a rough time getting pictures to do the right thing without loading them to my gallery first. I have them on me.com but when I tried to use the "insert image" icon, and put in the correct URL I got "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board." Feh. Zoa worm thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanglandJoshua July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 They have to expel what they eat out their mouths. So sometimes digested food will do that, especially with the slime they put on their food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiddly July 19, 2011 Author Share July 19, 2011 get a photobucket account, and do it that way, very easy. But why would the image tag work with a photobucket URL but not with other URLs? That doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for the tip, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are pretty new (got them at Frag Fest) and today was the first time I saw the worm thing. Of course, if it's zoa pooh, that might make some sense.

LanglandJoshua July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 I see it all the time, I will spot feed some of my large green zoas and take pics. So you can compare. Check back in an hour our so, and I should have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 Zoanthids, shrooms as well as some open brain and other corals expel Zooxanthella. It's brown and stringy like mucousy looking stuff. It's normal. I hope I got the name right. but it's all normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 (edited) Saw the pic you posted. That's normal. Edited July 19, 2011 by Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanglandJoshua July 19, 2011 Share July 19, 2011 He said in the beginning that it was a stringy worm like thing. Which to me says either zooxanthelli or poo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefoholic July 20, 2011 Share July 20, 2011 Glad to help Josh, What are you feeding them? New Life Spectrum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanglandJoshua July 20, 2011 Share July 20, 2011 A mix of standard fish foods. I would get a large pellet, small pellet, and medium ones. Them mix them in one container. One is formula one marine pellete, the rest are new life spectrum of various sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanglandJoshua July 20, 2011 Share July 20, 2011 Since some of my corals were shelter than others I got lazy, and mixed them. Is worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
