Um, can anyone tell me what my frogspawn is doing?????

Tonight, before lights out, my frogspawn randomly spewed a brown worm-like thing and flailed it around in the water for a bit and then spit is out and that was it, other than the frogspawn not being out of its skeleton quite as much as normal. I just shined a flashlight on it and it looks that same as every other night. What the heck happened?! :uhoh2:

Probably just a bit of coral poo - undigested matter. If you fed recently, sometimes corals can't process everything, and have to go #2.

But, sometimes when stressed, corals will expel zooxanthallae. Keep an eye on it just in case that is what it was. I'd check your parameters and other corals just to make sure there isn't something going on.

Okay, well water params are good. My algae blenny likes to make the corner that the frogspawn is in his toilet so I'm wondering of the spawn has been eating blenny poo and had to poo itself.

Most likely! I had a tang who would only poo in one corner of the tank - right above a coral. Needless to say, that was a fat & happy coral.

Just keep an eye on it, and watch the coral for any bleaching/signs of distress.

Will do. Thanks!
