White Mucus secreted by Acropora's at feeding time?

[Reef264]

Lately, my Limeade, Green Slimer, & Strawberry Shortcake have been secreting a white stringy mucus at feeding time, The Limeade doing it the worst.Why is this happening.


Calcium: 440
Alk: 8-9dKH
Magnesium: 1400
pH: 8.3
Temperature: 80.0F-80.5F
Salinity: 1.026

They are all Mid Tank, 15" under the 250w MH, Moderate Flow.

Any help you can provide.

Mesenterial filaments.

Not sure why, but several of my acros produce them after feeding as well.

So there is no real issue here?

Mine too. I think they are capturing food.

None that I've been able to tell.

Just wondering, what are you feeding?

How about some pics guys? Mine were going nuts the past few months but have slowed down recently, I will get pics when I can.

I'm talking about feeding time for the fish, not the corals.Its the same for whatever is being fed, I feed Oyster Feast, Roti Feast, Cyclops, Coral Frenzy, & Reef Plus.To the Corals.

The corals don't know the difference between fish feeding and coral feeding. Most sps love cyclops and its Juices. The slime up to catch the food. IMO
