Zoo question
 

I have a rock that is covered with Zoo's that I noticed tonight seems to be expelling black droplets that seem to float away with the current. Is this normal or should I be concerned? It seems that all the zoos on this rock are doing this.

As far as i know, its ether taking a poop or expelling extra algae ( i forget what its called but its the algae that grows inside zoos which make them photosythetic). I've had a colony do this before and nothing ill happened to them so i thought nothing of it.

Had you ever fed them or is there anything small enough that you've fed that thye might be eating?

Just feeding the tank DT's. Looks really weird almost like oil drops that come out of the mouth.

Wouldn't happen to have a digital camera handy so we can see exactly what it is you're talking about? Remote diagnosis is difficult without a pic but I would vote for it taking a coral cr@p. Corals usually only expel their symbiotic algae when under extreme stress.

I did get a picture.

ITS NORMAL . . . eventually you'll see other corals do the same thing . . . its just a way for them to poop :biggrin: besides . . . the things corals eat has to come out somewhere :mrgreen:
