Just me or do I have a Scoly Problem

The coral on the left, the orange one, is giving me problems. This coral has seemed to keep me guessing if its alright or not since I got it a month ago. I have been feeding both corals Mysis Shrimp every third day, they seem to be eating with no problems. I come home from work today and the coral seemed a bit reseeded on its skeleton a tad, not much but definitely not its full puffed out self and its mouth seemed a bit large. Now the mouth has closed and looks normal but there is a white thing coming out of its mouth. Now I :crazy1: turn back around and look at the coral and the white thing is gone. The coral looks alright but it is still reseeded a bit and not as puffy as it usually is. Am I just worrying to much about this or might I be having a problem. I will try feeding it tonight to see if it will eat. The pic above was taken a month ago when I first put the corals in my tank. This is not a pic from tonight.
 
Well, now its back to normal, go figure. I have heard that Anemones will extrude their insides, do Scolys do this also?
 
Well, he ate all of his dinner so I guess hes alright. Would like to know if this is normal for these corals.
 
I'm pretty obsessive about my scoly too. I've been trying to throttle back on being overly concerned....they eat, maybe a big meal and they go through their own cycle of digesting and evacuation. Like after thanksgiving dinner...

I feed heavy and I know they are happy....as much as these corals are dynamic and put on a show every time they eat...they are slow growing like an oak tree.

I had the same kind of problem also. I had two scolys that in a period of 3 months, both start to reseeded from its skeleton, and at the end, one of them was completely blown off from its skeleton from the very gentle current. Once I saw that I took the other one to my LFS. The other one was 3/4 off its skeleton already. I believe it has to do with water quality, and the stability of the water.
