My Frogspawn

Ok so what i am guessing is the mouth of my frogspawn has a small string of brownish red slime/fesces out of the the mouth. But doesnt it eat/poop out of the same hole??

 

correct, one hole does it all. and what your seeing is most likely feces.

 

LOL.... Yep, crazy to see for the first time..

 

honestly...cuz what i have read is that most of the time if it is going to die their is a red slime so i was freaking out for a bit but then remembered what i learned in oceanography...thanks a bunch

 

I don't think the reddish matter is feces. I am willing to bet that it is the coral releasing zooxanthellae!!!! Either due to a problem with your coral, or your coral is releasing one strain of zooxanthellae for another strain better suited for it in your tank!!!

 

really coral reefer thats crazy, i did not know that they will release the zoox. algae from their mouths, tell me more about why you think the reddish could be zoox. do diff strains of zoox algae have diff colors. like if you got the frogspawn a really brownish color, then you put it under better lights it usually turns green. i always thought this brown and green colors was the zoox. algae(am i wrong?) if so would they expel the brown and swap it for a green strain? or am i not making any sense?

 

while we are talking about frogsoawn mine has a large clear bubble on 2 of the heads any body have any idea what it is?

 

Honestly...have never witnessed my frogspawn do either...

May barf, poop whatever...but must do when tentacles extended when I can't see it happening...:-/

 

the bubble is most likely the frogspawn dividing heads, mine did this as well for a short time while dividing. havent seen it happen again since it completed its split. could be wrong on this too but took it as part of the split since i only encountered it during the split.



i always thought the lil red stringy stuff was just feces,because i usually see it after they ate cyclopeze, i dont actully see it expel cause like omard said the tentacles are extended,. the fish seem to find it tasty thou.
