Okay before I turned my 10k light off, my brain coral was pretty small, but before I turned off my light at 6pm, from like 10am-5pm brain coral was pretty healthy and puffed up from 5pm it started to get realll small like.
I went to go jog with my dog for 45 minute, then when I came back my brain coral looks like an exorcist or something like scary ugh..
anyway heres the picture now

It has a huge huge hole, his mouth is all the way opened, and I think I can see some skeleton too inside it! ugh

And theres some slimey stuff like things coming out of its mouth, he has 3 mouth total, but other 2 is kinda opened, but not open as that one.
all 3 mouth is shooting some kind of slimey stuff.

Anyway I am totally new to brain family, and I have no idea what the heck is going on and im stressed I payed 50 bucks for this thing, and for all you students out there you knows how much 50 bucks worth to you.

Please help ASAP! :-/

Agreed that's coral poop. The tissue looks fine, maybe retracted a little, but fine. =) your Brain should be fine

What are your water params? How long have you had the coral? I wouldnt sweat it. Give it some time and see if it gets better!

Just about all LPS have poop like this (someone will correct me I'm sure). The coral should look normal tomorrow.

Also the skeleton on the bottom is worrying me a bit, is this critical sign?
The picture is from yesterday by the way
