    I am looking at my RTBA and it looks like it took a hit from a cigarette. It is smokie and it has done it numerously for the past 15-20 minutes. Is it pooping or expelling its zooxanth3llate? Video to follow if you can see it. I only have my actinics on.

    Smokey like it took a drag from a cigarette and exhaling. That's the best way I can describe it.

    Zooxanthellae is colorless, so it's probably spawning from stress, it's normal, just acclimating, if it's new

    zooxanthellae are dinoflagellates and are golden-brown.

    it sounds like it is spawning though, definitely get some pics!
