I have never seen that. How long have you had it? How long has it been doing this? Is it or has it reinflated and closed the mouth? Have you made any changes to the tank lighting, flow, chemistry?

Looks to be expelling zooxanthellae or pooing. It's common but could also be a reaction from a stressor like light shock or chemistry swing. If it returns to normal then I wouldn't worry to much.
