BTA and black stringy stuff

[Olgranddad]

So I go by my tank today and I see all four of my anemones with black stringy stuff coming out of their mouths. It was the first time I have ever seen this. 3 of them had it sitting on their mouths and 1 had it as a long string that stretched about 6 inches down current. Their mouths were all open. I have never seen that before.

I went down stairs to check the RODI and when I came back up my lights had clicked off. When I used my phones to look at them, they have all retracted and deflated like they do every night.

Did I see something normal and I just haven't seen it before? Or is there something I should be doing now?

I believe the technical term is "pooping"...... :lol:

Do they always "poop" together? All 4 were doing it at the same time. Can only be females going to the ladies room together.
