Anyone know what this is? Doesn't seem like normal slime from when they are taken out of the tank. Doesn't seem like stn or Ron cause I haven't lost any corals. I recently moved corals from my established 225g to my 105 with more flow. Skimmer is trying to break in so there are a lot more bubbles and a lot more flow with 2xmp40 in the tank and BB setup. Alk and cal are good and seemed to have leveled off to where they were in the 225g. Any ideas? Just trying to adjust maybe? I should say I do remember losing a Jedi mind trick but it was not sliming like these are. Also switched from 400w halides to 8x54w t-5.

Something might be irritating the coral. Either newly mixed salt, little pieces of sand, etc. Posting a pic might help. You mentioned more flow so if sand or air bubbles keep hitting them that might make them slime up.
