This seems to be coral warfare in the picture. The green coral has attacked this other with white strands in photo. What to do?
 
Yeah those are messenterial filaments from the hydnophora. Basically it's trying to get the other coral (I can't make out what it is; blue-green sympodium?) by essentially eating it. Like @DSC reef said, just move the offending coral
 
Of course kill the coral that everyone loves, .........of course, of course, of course, what was I thinking?
 
Thank You for your reply’s!! This coral is on a shelf rock. How can I remove it from its present rock???
