My coral is angry?
Really enjoy reading this forum. I'm about 8 months new at this, and going through the very steep learning curve.
My daughter brought me a green plate coral and it wasn't expanding near as much as what she saw it in the store. So I put it on top of a rock, thinking maybe more current and closer to the light would help. A few hours later just happened to see it spit out a rather large cloud of something whitish; looked like a mushroom cloud in the tank. I immediately looked it up on a couple sites and found out that I shouldn't put it on a rock!!! It's back in the gravel and seems relatively OK but seen it spit out again. What's it doing?? I have been adding "reef builder". Peter. 35 gal tank, 2 clowns, 2 damsels, emerald crab, frogspawn, generally everything looks fine.

It's probably either releasing seed or expelling waste/defense mechanisms. Some people prop their plate corals on rocks, but it is usually best to keep them on the substrate.
What kind of plate coral are you keeping? The short tentacled Fungias or long tentacled?

From pics on a website, I'd say its the long tentacled.
