Waste and Anemones? Is my LTA taking a Dump?

[sidneybrooksjr]

I just noticed some brown stuff coming out of the mouth of my lta. Is this waste? Is the common? Please advise mee im a newbie?

I've never seen that from mine in 5 years.
I see you restarted your tank.
Nems need good water quality and a fairly established tank.
How old is tank?
Got pics?

The tank was restarted in june. I had a fowlr b4 that and i had a clown trigger, blue line trigger and harlequin tusk. Something wiped out the whole tank. So i let the tank lay dormant for about 8 months, just water changes, skimming and powerheads between time. I started in june and kept two damsels until november. I placed two tomato clowns that were tank rasised. Just added the nems over the last two weeks. LTA and BTA. My params are good. Two coralife t'5's and Coralife PC 96w. single strip, dayling and atinic.

davocean, i posted this same thread in the new to the hobby forum and someone said that he is expelling waste and it happens about once a week/

I saw that.
The only thing I've ever seen coming from my nems is a little mucus like stuff when they've been disturbed.
Wait for a couple more comments as experiences may vary, but I'm pretty sure in 5 years I would have seen that(unless my nems poop at night!)

My lta and bta "poop" about 2-3 days after I feed them.
