Looks like a rectal prolapse.
I heard that sometimes it will go in by it self.
I guess I would stop feeding for a while.
 
I called the breeder -and hes conclusion was that this probably is some of the guts sticking out, due to overfeeding. And actually, i did feed them alot more than usual, before i left on my hollyday couple of days ago.

The advice from the breeder was simply to keep the water clean, and wait for the guts to withdraw.

He btw also told me that he have seen this many times before, on angel fishes.

Thank you for advice.

Thank you for the link oTo.

Actually everything is back to normal again, already! I checked him this morning, and saw that he was swimming around looking good. Took the flashlight and managed to get a look at the underside of the disc... - guts where totally withdrawn!

I fed him a very small portion of bloodworms, and he eat them all :)

Very good to hear!

I just checked out the pictures you posted of your rays and they look incredible. I really like the spotting on your leos. Simple & clean. I especially love the pictures of you feeding your hystrix!
