I wonder if anyone could advise me please. I noticed today that my orange button polyps have black threads coming from their openings, I have never seen this before, I don't think they are worms coming out of them, I am really alarmed and not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry Maidie, would love to help. However, I haven't seen or heard of black threads coming out of button polyps mouths. Other than that.. How do they look. Do they look stressed or retracted?

Hello, Thanks for the message. I have found out that it is the polyp's waste products, so the panic is over:)

No problem, they tend to spit stuff out and alot of corals produce a slime or molt every once and a while. Glad to hear everything is well
