The top picture is what it normally looks like. The bottom 2 pics have a white stringy spot in the fleshy part (not feeder tentacles) These spots come out in random spots periodically and then pull back in and then it looks fine. What is it and is it normal for it to do this? I have had this scoly for about 3 months and I have seen it do this about 3 times, every time in a different spot. Should I be concerned?

Mesenterial filaments? Sometimes these are used to sting other corals, other times to catch food. The coral looks great though so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

That is what it looks like. The only thing next to it in that direction is my ufo scoly. Will 2 scolys fight with eachother? There is a small red goni on the other side about 2 inches away.
