I’m just making sure but lately I have been seeing white string coming from this acro. Is this a feeding response. Thanks

Mesenterial filaments, which is part of feeding response
 
They appear to be Mesenterial Filaments which can be a feeding response, but can also be an indication that the coral is irritated. If you are seeing these throughout the day when your tank is not being fed, it could be an indication of a water quality issue.
