Hello all I just moved my montipora to a frag rack and its showing some really long tentacles or some slime? Any thoughts on if this is okay I just moved it today.

Most likely slime from the stress of moving. Give it a day and see if it continues.

Thank you its right under the power head so I hope its not getting too much flow / being shaded.
 
Those are called mesenterial filaments, it could be a feeding respons or a defense mechanism to near by corals.
