    My new Eagle Eye Zoa colony is doing well but kinda weird I see a couple of the polyps secrete something out every once in a while\Kinda like a burning match with the smoke. It doesn't happen often but was curious if that was good bad or just common? The polyp ends up opening a little later.

    The other Concern I had was my newly acquired Xenia Pom Pom has been closed for the past two days. This evening after feeding the fish it was extremely constricted and not barely open at all. Since acclimating it to the tank it has yet to even open fully.

    I keep my Salinity at .026 because I read that the Xenia can be finicky and likes higher salinity levels.

    Tested Calcium, pH, and others everything is perfect.

    My Duncan, GSP, Button and star polyps are all fine.

    Thoughts?
