Brown Stringy Stuff coming out of BTA

[Flax]

All,
I have a pink tipped BTA. I have a had it for about 1 month. It has found its home and eats very well. I came home today to find a brown stringy substance coming out of its mouth. I searched and searched online and found the Anemone FAQ and the only thing that it said was that it was stressed and that this is not good. Any ideas? Or can someone explain what this substance is and how I can help my sick/stressed friend? All levels tested out fine

Thanks...

Oh, Just to add another piece of information, his home is under a piece of LR. Could I have too much water flow?

was it poop? check www.karensanemones.com for pooping pictures

Other wise it wuld be its zoolathea (sp) whitch would be bad. does it still have all its color?

Yes, it is still extremely green and the tips are still VERY pink.

I couldn't get to that web page though.

Just went to the site http://www.karensroseanemones.com/thelittlepooper.htm

That was one of the place I looked. It sort've looks like that but multiply that 1 string of poop by 20 and thats what it looks like.

Flax, can you get a picture of it for us?
Usually there is just one string of poop but if your anemone has eaten a large meal I guess he could have several strings of it.
But I have never seen it.
Picture would be great even if he is done doing his thing so that we can see the health. Also take a picture of just his mouth so that we can see whats up there also.

When we first brought our GBTA home he became stressed until he settled into his current place which took him three months or so. Until then, he ate decently well, put had several "poop" strings a day or so after his feeding. Now he poops a single string and is back to being green and has his bubble tips back.

mine does poop out more than 1 single strand. but not 20 either.
