question about euphilia

Breanna

Euphilia released long threads from its mouth, what is this?

Mike

Burps.

Michelle

Ha ha, that's funny. But seriously?

Troy

Do you seriously have zoophilia?

Helen

This is neither a cow nor a camel to regurgitate... Thus, the animal releases zooxanthellae from its tissue. The reasons can vary, including poor water quality. More details about this and more can be read here.

Andrea

The tests are all normal, but what else could be causing this?

Nancy

no cow

Melinda

Are you sure it's "Z"ufilia???

Robert

These are likely mesenterial filaments. The digestive organs of corals are often used as aggression organs. Many of my corals release them when there are a lot of small algae in the water after thoroughly cleaning the glass and rocks. Here, I found it. The photo is bad, but the threads seem to be visible.

Susan

sorry, I pressed the wrong key

Larry

I can't open it.

Brianna

Okay, thank you for the response.

Martin

Here is the topic on, there are many photos.

Stephen

I don't know, it opens for me. From "rotifers," as the author writes, zooxanthellae can also come out. Then the threads will be brown. This is mentioned in some guides, for example, on page 249 of "Reef Aquarium."

Dana

Tolya, I'm not arguing at all, that's why I posted the photo, so the author could take a look, whether it's that or not. There is a photo of this process on page 202, and it's just about euphyllia.

Michelle

Today I was rearranging the bags with corals, probably that gave reason for such behavior. Once I had a protomallia that also stood out like this. Thank you all for the responses.
