So my Lobo has this weird white squiggly stuff on it. Some of it is attached, some is kinda blowing in the current. Is that part of the Lobo or is it like eggs of some sort? Just don't know if I should try removing it.
Thanks

Looks like mesenterial filaments, used by corals to sting near by corals, and as a digestive mechanism. Some coral display their filaments when stressed, some do so as a feeding response.
 
OK well that would make sense if that's what it is. My tank has recently gotten stressed a few nights ago due to my sump running out of water and the salinity spiking. I fixed it the next day but then just got home from work and noticed this. No other corals are by him so. But good to know thanks
