Question about Torch Coral

Hey Guys and Girls

I got a torch coral today Yay.

When I came home form the LFS and drip acclimatised it etc, there seems to be some sort of white stuff hanging off the coral.

It looks like bits of meat or something that it could possibly have been eating at the LFS. When I fed my fish tonight with a mix of mysis, brine etc, some of it went through the flow of the torch and I think the torch got some of that to because it seemed to grab something and close up?

What does aptasia look like? If its that then my peppermint shrimp should clean it up nicely.

Is the coral just eating stuff?

Here are some pics:

Advice would be great

Looks like a fine Torch Ryan.

Many times LPS expel waste when introduced to a new system.

 

They look great IMO also. I agree that it could be like Cheryl said or they had something from the LFS.

 

They'll be fine, this is normal upon introduction to a new tank.

 

Thanks guys,

It seems to be.

Check it out this morning it looks very happy .
