I'm not positive but that might be happening because you just introduced them into your tank. Different water, transportation in a plastic bag, bouncing around from transportation, different lighting, water flow and quality could have something to do with it. Good luck with your new additions, I think you'll be ok. Just watch them to make sure. Do you have pics?
Could be bad news, depending. Any way to get a better and closer pic? Does the surrounding tissue appear to be dissolving? If not, chances are it is just mucus. Worst case scenario, it is a shutdown reaction.
Well a little of the soft corlal melted just a bit, it looks like some kind of mucus. I don't have a camera just my phone.
If actual tissue is sloughing, then there's an issue. Try to examine it as closely as possible in order to be as specific as possible. It may be harmless or you may lose the coral in short order, depending on what exactly is going on.
All I can see is mucus, coming out from both of them. I heard this could be them getting use to the tank or they're harmed
Tank specs? Nitrate, phosphate, salinity, ph, temp.. Wild guess, don't really have enough info to make a good guess, but I am thinking salinity difference.
