What is this creature and what is it doing?

Can’t say I’ve seen that before. Looks like the poly is pooping. But it does resemble a worm of some kind.

It opened back up but the thing is still hanging on.

It looks like a line of snail or nudibranch eggs, to me.

Berghia nudibranch eggs:

Interesting! I don't seem to have Aiptasia but cool nonetheless.

I did not say you have Berghia eggs; the example of photography is to show that snails and nudibranchs also lay eggs in this way, like extended lines, not always adhered to surfaces or corals.

If what you have are eggs, you should observe and identify who they belong to; Nudibranchs are sometimes hard to see and some eat corals.

Figured out what it was. It's a piece of my Pink Anthelia Coral that appears to be dying in this spot.
