Torch help!!!

[william_acker]

Need help with this torch. I've had it for little over 2 weeks and it's been doing great eating flowing nice until tonight. All day it was fine and bubbly until about 10 minutes to lights out. Is this it anticipating night time?? the other branch is doing fine only those two front heads are very open and spewing brownish stringy stuff.

Water is good. Nitrates and Nitrites are 0. Phos is around .025. Calcium 440 and Alk is about 9.5-10.

Any help/ suggestions will help!

Tank is running a little hot with this weather. Around 82 could this be the reason?

Could just be poop. Corals poop out of their mouth (yummy).

Could be poop I guess. Looked better this morning but this is from last night. Doesn't look good to me but idk.

If you re feeding it then it's possible it could be poop also many species of Euphyillia expel excess zooanthellae especially at the end of a light cycle.

Okay that makes a ton of sense. Thanks a lot

Also, if it stays small for a few days, and you've been feeding it, I've noticed that any time my torch shrinks up for a week or so, it's usually splitting, so there's that to consider. I haven't seen mine spit zooxanthellae, but I have seen it from a few other LPS corals.

Okay thanks I'll keep an key out for a split. That would be nice!
