Default White stringy stuff on acro

Hi all

I made this video showing my acro colony that has a patch of white stringy stuff on its base as well as it is now growing some strings on various branches. Anyone know what this is?

thanks,

Palmer

It could be tissue necrosis.

my birdsnest did that when I introduced it, but it was just the tip of one, so I snapped it off and its fine, in fact the piece I broke off still lives :P
Could be necrosis, but others have told me that sps gets hair and stuff caught on it easily.. not sure

Has something touched the coral? Maybe it's slime.

Looks like spawning to me.

(Love the Zepplin in the background!)

I have that happen once a while with my acros, no harm has come to them so far though...
