Do you spot feed these guys ?
I don't know much about these corals, but if you are spot feeding, it could be pooping as their system only has one opening to be used for both. It looks really close to how my brains and plates look when the poop
The only other time I've seen something like that is when corals exspell zooxanthellae algae, but yours doesn't look stressed or unhealthy at all
I can't imagine it would be a feeding tential as I think most corals only do that at night

The first time I saw it I freaked out and thought my corals were dieing
I'm guessing they don't have taste buds :hmm3grin2orange:
