favia slime?

[syngraves]

I'm new with LPs and this is my first favia. Water parameters are all stable. Just added the frag in the tank yesterday and did a water change per my usual schedule which I know I should've done before adding the frag.... anyway after the water change I noticed a stringy slime coming from around each polyp about where the tentacles would reach from. It doesn't look brown and its not too noticible unless your face is against the glass.

Any insight on this? Gonna keep a close eye on it. Also all my other coral have closed up which they usually do for an hour or so after an h2o change. Thought I'd mention that detail incase

I just did a 10% water change on my nano reef and noticed the same thing. It happened a few days ago when my Eheim 350 surface skimmer decided to start spewing microbubbles - an indication that a good servicing is required. I think they may just be reacting to a slight change and would not worry to much about it. They are probably slightly irritated, perhaps there was a small change in temperature or some other parameter.

Yea I agree. Woke up this morning and all my corals were happy and looking healthy! No more slime anywhere.

Glad to hear it!
