fragged corals and the affect on water quality

I noticed that when my mushrooms were splitting and divided, there was a lot of "ooze" and substance that did not look very "Reef Friendly". What would you say is the affect of fragging on your water chemistry.

For example, fragging a toadstool, zoas, mushrooms, ricordea (if you can frag them). What do you all think? How soon can you put the frag back into the DT?

 

I have not noticed any ill effects in my past experiences, I fragged Toadstools, mushrooms and ricordia right in my tank and also at the kitchen table returning them immediately to the tank. Zoa’s I never fragged, I just put a small rock near the colony and then removed it a few weeks later and I had at least two heads.

I also did this in a large water environment. The proper advice would be to always frag outside the tank, and probably do dip in lugols or the like.

Edit - forgot the most important advice .... pictures !

 

Consider placing new carbon/charcoal in the systems when fragging.

 

its just mucus, you could also say that a fish pooping is not esactly aquarium friendly. lol

 

I notice my skimmer starts pulling a bunch of gunk out but I wouldn't say it's all that bad. Run carbon and maybe frag outside of the tank to reduce whatever they gooze up with.

 

It's mucous. With leathers and zoas, I'd run carbon, since it's gonna contain some nasty chemicals (palytoxin in the case of palythoa/some zoanthids), but it's otherwise ok.
