What are these white stringy things coming off my corals? Just popped up. Was having a major issue with micro bubbles, could that cause them?

Mesenterial Filaments perhaps?

Mesenterial Filaments.

Good or bad? Just looked them up and there was no concrete answer.

Usually these are used as a defense mechanism, but when a coral is kind of grumpy you might see these as well. They're basically the corals guts.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll keep an eye on them and see how it goes

The micro-bubbles are causing them to slime, and the bubbles are being trapped by the coral slime.

It's essentially an exposure to air reaction; need to get those bubbles stopped!

Thought that might be the problem! Got them stopped

So I just noticed today that some of them had raw "sore" like spots where you could see the Mesenterial Filaments underneath, the acans are all fully opened and showing great color, any idea what could be causing this and is it a problem? Fixed the bubble problem and have not had anymore.
