I had a bought a monti the size of a dime and over time withing 2 weeks it kept doing this and bleached

Yes mucus and slime is normal in the first couple of days as they are taken in/out of water. Give it another couple of days and it should be without the slime. It's a defense mechanism for the coral.

Are there vermitid snail tubes buried in the monti? Seal them up with super glue and the slime webs and vermitids will go away.

Popping and/or acclimating…seal up the vermitids if those are there bc they will definitely irritate the monti and cause it to deteriorate.
