My corals have been going down one by one for the past few weeks. Are these mesenterial filaments or something parasitic? Thanks in advance for your support here, R2R world!

Thank you all for your care and insight. For better or worse, this forum has once again prevented me from throwing in the towel.
Thank you! I’ve been researching the hell out of this! I’ve never seen it before? I thought it was a Nudibranch? Thanks for responding! I’ve had the favia for year and never noticed. I posted on Facebook as well and came to the same conclusion. Thanks again I really appreciate it!That is 100% mesenterial filaments and 100% normal. Thats part of the feeding and defense process. The sweeper and or polyps do the catching, the white “guts” do the digesting. Called extracolenteric digestion when it happens outside the body Of the coral.

Ime , They will respond this way because of chemical Warfare , something close or just in the tank.
They can also respond this way due to a pollutant or funk like when you stir up the sand too deep.
There completely gone now! Not sure what I did?I did some iodine dips and a lot of water changes, focusing on the quality of the water and salt I used. I tried to leave it alone as much as possible and provide it with a clean,stable environment to live in.
