Is it coming out of the mouth? Got a pic?
If it is coming out of just the mouth then it is 'pooping' so to speak and nothing to worry about. If it is jelling along the edges then is is dieing and you might be able to save it by cutting it up into 2-4 peices and toss any parts that have jell on them and place the remaining pieces into a bowel or other like container with some clean LR frags and they may attatch and regrow. I wouldn't recommend cutting into any more than 4 pieces, if that is what is going on and not simply expelling excess organic waste.

Thank you I did cut it up into four pieces like you said.Do you have any yuma or zoos you would like to trade?
Not really. Maybe zoos depending on what you have but I don't much like shipping yumas anymore than possible. They don't seem to handle being handled like FL rics and though they seldom are harmed once they acclimate it just isn't worth the risk.
I do believe, for anyone's information that might be interested, that removing yumas from water and exposing them to air, at least until they have long term acclimated to a system, is harmful and may be the cause of wild collected often times dissolving. Since I have convinced the local LRSs to unbag/bag them underwater I have not lost a single polyp and their growth, new production and coloration has been outstanding. JMO.
And hope the frags pull through. Distub them as little as possible and supply them with minimal light and low-mod flow.
