expelling zooxanthellae [algae symbiotes] because light is too strong. Lower to the bottom, partially in shade asap.

It was loving where it was at.
Lighting: 2 x 250w MH 10k 2x 96w actinics
Is it dying?

Isn't this just a normal thing for corals to do? Thats how it poops, right?
Anyway, it has returned to normal and looks great again.

Poop is great. Zooxanth-dumping is not---but maybe it's just poop.

well it was hairy looking and sort of came a part as it got longer. The tangs seemed interested in it. Both heads threw it up then returned to their normal size.
