Talking Zoa Poop?!

So...a new little frag of zoa started very slowly expelling a dark (nearly black) ...um...something aprox 12 hours after tank introduction. I've ready anywhere from zoa poop to expelling excess zooxanthellae. The black masses of 'somethings' are 1 mm diameter...made up of smaller 'somethings' aprox .2 mm diameter.

Anywho care to take a stab?

As always thanks!


I've photoshoped the pics to give the best visible 'something' contrast. Fom eyeballing it...the color is nearly black.

It looks more like they are expealing their zooxanthellae. They look kind of bleached.
