I was fragging a frogspawn, big like 30 heads, very happy and growing well. As I was fragging it I noticed these white blobs on a few of the heads. They don't scrape off (seems to take the tissue with it) but they certainly don't look good.

Anyone have any ideas on what they might be? I plan to dip them to see what happens.

Those are mesenterial filaments; they're typically a sign of stress in the coral - I don't know for sure, but I would imagine they might show up as a result of fragging.
