Lobo help

But all were a ways off

I would do some late night snooping around with a dull flash light. Frog spawns can have some really looking sweepers. If you can find any current pattern in your water, look upstream from where the lobo is.

Will do some rearranging tomorrow....but I've never had this issue before.

Ive seen this more than a few times recently here on r2r. In some cases t was a possible chem warfare, and on a couple a possible reaction to a large change in parameters. The best common advice on chem warfare is a more aggressive addition of activated carbon. (bag on the return pump, reactor canister etc).
In reading some of the old Reef lore, in some additions, the reefers used tank water and did a very long acclimation to the water,in another tank.

Uhm that's normal for Lobos, they can send those out at night to feed or to kill off the competition around them, they also send those out when they are disturbed suddenly, or when they are stressed. But the coral in your picture does not look very stressed or deflated. Also, it isn't the Lobo you should worry about, make sure those white strings don't get in contact with any other coral. My Lobos send those out occasionally and anything they touch is gone in a matter of hours. Kind of like in the picture. It also happens very often when the coral is very happy, if it is finally growing it will send those out to make more space for itself.

Well then it's really happy....because it's done it for the last like week

Lobo, doughnut and open brain does this quite often. Nothing to worry as long as it is not due to infection or being too close to other coral species. Mine does this a couple of time every month. Not sure why :D
