Help! Strings coming from acro

[prsnlty]

My new (2 weeks)acro that's yellow w/ purple tips has these white strings coming from it. What is this and should I be worried? It is the only thing in the tank doing it.

Probably just feeding, or feeling the need to attack neighbors for real estate rights.

Whew! I was worried. Well, I haven't seen him do this since he was placed in the tank. I did do a kalk drip yesterday and fed homemade coral/fish food this morning. He hasn't had hardly any PE and hasn't colored up yet either. Hopefully he is eating :)

Thank you :) Then he must be feeding, nothing else is near him. Well, not within 10". This is a good sign then :D
