Hmmm......can you get a better pic. Maybe a pic that is better in focus on the subject?

only way I can post pics is off my cell then I e-mail them to myself so I can get them on the comp..... like I said it almost looks like spider webs inside the coral... there is a few tubes around the base... my lights are out at moment.. i'll see what I can do tomarow... thanks

Most likely they are threads from vermitid snail. You mentioned a few tubes around the base. Is the thread coming from these tubes? If so, they are most definitely vermitid snails that are causing this.

looking worse......... any ideas????

Have you tried manually removing the stuff?

 

[tgp4274]

ok so I pulled it........ you can see the tubes in the webbing (not sure what else to call it)
if any ideas i'm open..... I have it sitting in a bowl of tap water to see if anything comes out......

ALmost looks like a sponge is taking over you birdnest...too thick to be vermitide worms.

I was thinking a sponge also. I have one growing under my ponape, but my emperor keeps it in check
