It's very hard to tell from the pictures, but they could be hydroids. I hope not.

not hydroids... but do spongodes even have feeding tantacles? because it could of just been some kind of slime from another coral or somthing...

Sometimes when sps corals get stressed they will secrete a slime, could be what is going on. It is a bit hard to tell from the pic.
