strands coming from centre of Zoa?

[poochieparker]

Hi

Can anybody tell me if this is normal, I have the one zoa with about 15-20 heads on, got it on Thursday, all the heads are open, only close at night, today when the lights came on all the heads seemed to secrete this stringy stuff?

probably zoanthid poop.

It's been doing it all day, when I said 15-20 heads I've just had a look and its about 50 heads and it looks like each one of the heads at some time or other throughout the day is secreting this stuff from its centre. The entire thing also seems to have moved, can they do this?

Can you tell i'm new to this!!

I hope its not poop, UUUGGGGhhhh.

Is the stringy stuff white or brown grey? If its brown or grey its poop, if its white its most likely its mesentary fiilaments (its guts) meaning its not happy.

Hi

It' a browny - similar colour to the heads, probably poop then I think.

Thank You

White I dont know about, but If its brown stringy stuff then it is well kinda like poop I have it happen too, after a couple of weeks you will probably see growth.
I found out somewhere online, cant put my finger on it now but will try to find the page on it.
Make sure they have good water flow around them.
