Frogspawn spitting up brown mucus

[dartman]

Is this normal? I never had corals before. I got them 3 days ago. He is very nice but I was watching him and all of a sudden brown mucus was getting spit up out of it. I also have an anenome that looks like it's shriveling up. My water qualities are good. and I have PC and MH lighting. Is that normail also?

The brown stuff is Frogspawn poop. Most corals (including forgspawns) eat and poop out of the same hole. The poop does look like brown mucus.
Nothing to worry about.
What is really gross is when a hungry fish swims by and eats it...ewwww! :scared:

Just watch your tank carefully!!! Your tank is still pretty young yet to handle corals. They need a well established tank!! :happyfish
