Makena95GT Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 So as I'm sitting around staring at my tank, I think I witnessed my Palys take a turd. Recorded it happening on one polyp. Three different polyps did this. Was a bit weird. I felt dirty for watching. Video is still uploading. Will post it as soon as it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Its just dumping its zooxanthallae. Usually does that if stressed or too high lighting. Sometimes mine also just does it for maintenance I think to control zooxanthallae levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena95GT Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Interesting. This was a day after I moved the frag plug down to the bottom of the tank to get away from blinding light. I was going to say "Maybe it saw my face all up in it's area and got upset" but them I remembered.. they dont have eyes LOLOLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Devil's Hand shriveled up for a few days and then shed a massive amount of something brown. I've never seen Palythoa or Zoanthids do this though.

Makena95GT Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yup, I def feel dirty for watching it poop now. hahaha. I was very amazed. I finally found a good spot for the little frag! Only took a week to relize they didn't like the blinding light up on the top up the tank, so they're down pretty much on the sand now. Totally happier. And getting some pink on the tentacles Heres the video of the poopin' Video may still be sideways. Just fixed it on Youtube. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
