[nycbob]

it does sound like waste, or under a more common term, poop.

 

[ashley84]

arent zoas toxic tho?? What color is the toxic when they release it?

 

[chrisb430]

its just waste dont worry about it. its not toxic. your filter will suck it up!

If it's stringy brown stuff, then it is nothing to worry about. Like the first answer said... just poop

Ashley is the jelly you have to worry about that oozes when you frag them- even with that if your running carbon youd be ok- your fine--- sorry couldnt resist the smart ass remark.

 

[ashley84]

it wasnt stringy..it looked like smoke....just nervous that its toxic...my zoas are eyes or rah...and what do u mean when you talk about the carbon...??

Ashley I have a colony of zoas and a polyp released from the rock about 3 weeks ago and left a trail of what looked like brown smoke behind it as it floated and tumbled across my tank in the water column- It released it for the length end to end-- not a thing happened to my tank.
And what I mean about carbon is if you run activated carbon in a reactor it will absorb it along with the rest of your filtration. If you dont run carbon- get yourself a two little fishies phos ban reactor and run carbon in it instead of phos-ban- I use two of the same reactors and I run phos-ban in one and carbon in the other.
