I'm 99% sure it is, but would just like a little confirmation to ease that 1% that thinks something may be wrong...

I don't think anything is wrong with your frogspawn, but when mine used to poop is was a brown discharge. All I'm seeing is some mucos waving in the current. Either way though, I wouldn't worry to much. The coral doesn't appear to have anything wrong with it, and judging by the other corals in the picture it looks like your on the right track.

Yeah, brownish clump of stuff might come out of mine every now and again. That just kind of looks like a string of slime/mucous. They can put out longer thin tentacles (sweepers i think) but those are pretty obvious.

If you're 99% sure, then chances our you're probably right

Only time I have ever seen an event that looks like "pooping" was a FS or torch excreting its zoox. Keep an eye on its color. If it is gettin lighter/bleaching you will know it wasn't "poop".

Seems like it's always the times that I think I am 99% right that I am 100% wrong! :spin3:

it's not poop, theres a large vermetid snail on it or near it creating that web of mucus

You must have a better eye than me because I can't see any such thing! LOL

If there is a vermetid snail close by, you'll be seeing that mucus web being cast out quite often. Keep your eyes peeled OP.
