what's that stuff on it?

[Labman48076]

that's what I wanna know

Looks like waste, either that or some debris settled onto it and is irritating the polyp. If its someplace with a bit of water flow, that show blow off in a little while. It should look OK again by tomorrow if thats all it is

Looks like there are some pieces of algae in there. Do you feed Nori, or other sheet algae to your fish? Maybe the coral grabbed a chunk, and is having a hard time digesting it, so it's trying to spit it out. I'd remove it, and the slime right away.

It will open back up in a day or two. I've had mine do that before. Don't worry!

My two that I have in different tanks and lighting seem to like good flow. You may want to try that. Just my 2 cents.

Im sure you already know, but a turkey baster is always good to have to suck something like that off or blow it off.
