Open Brain On The Can?

[SkiFletch]

Hey guys, got another question for you. Since I've owned it (about a month) my open brain coral looks like its dropping a deuce or growing algae out of it, or somethin wierd. Its got this long stringy stuff coming out of one of its "mouths" and I'm wondering if this is normal. It looks kinda like byropsis, but what would that be doing growing out of the middle of a brain coral? Should I leave it, pull it with tweasers, or somethin else? Thanks for the advice and heres a pic

Now that looks funny. It might have digested it whilst eating something else. If its exhaling it, I wouldnt piull it out. How long has it been like that?

Its possibly dumping some of its symbiotic algae. Corals will do this to regulate the amount they have within their bodies. Sometimes this can go out of control and they can bleach themselves but i dont think this is the problem in this case.
It might also be the left overs of anything its eaten. Some corals can eject their intestines to digest things so its a bad idea to pluck it off the coral. What might be a better option is to get some flow over the coral and this might be enough to lift it free of the coral.
