Last night some of my corals had a white milk like substance coming out, what do you all think it is?

Hmm. Kind of looks like stinging tentacles coming out to sting another coral.

At first that's kinda what I was thinking but, this guy is all by his/her lonesome nothing remotely close it... looks normal this morning.. things that make you go hmmmmmm!?!?
 
yeah, a few things... and man it seems to really be working.:whoo:
 
Thank you all so much for your responses, this is really much appreciated!

Yes this^ Sure, they can sting, but most commonly corals use these shorter ones for food without stinging anything. Some lps corals will put out very long sweepers that will sting nearby corals, but these don't look to be dangerous.
