    Question Weird white sacs and brown stringy stuff off hammer coral

    hey guys again, as i have already said, i noticed this brown stringy stuff and these weird white translucent sacs appearing on my hammer coral. if that makes sense. i've attached some photos and hopefully they turn out. any help would be appreciated.
    the tank is a 30 gallon. and this after lights went out, so i had to use a torch

    It looks like coral poop.

    There is no elevator to success in marine tanks. You have to take the stairs.

    agreed...the brown stuff is fecal matter, and the white areas is the tissue around the coral's mouths.
