Looks like it might be Mesenterial Filaments.
Is the coral other wise healthy?
How long have you had the coral?
Do any changes to the tank lately?

Welcome to R2R.
A ha! Something new to learn about!
This torch has been in this tank since about February. A few weeks after putting it in, the tentacles started taking on weird shapes, which you can see better here:
One side is stunted-looking (right) and the other has bulbous, oddly-shaped tentacles.
This should probably be under a different topic now... I’m very concerned about the health of this coral.

Welcome to R2R!!
It does seem like one side is being aggrevated by something.
Still, if it is due to coral warfare then it must be a much more aggressive coral with a much more powerful sting to be beating a torch into submission. Torches are known for being aggressive stingers, so I am surprised that it would be the one getting attacked as opposed to being the one doing the attacking.
Anything else you noticed in the area? Like any vermited snails, or a fish nipping at it?

Here’s a shot with its neighbors. We do have a vermetid snail problem on the live rock next to it. Looks like Pinhead from Hellraiser on one side eww. I’d like to replace it, but a few of our finned friends like it so much! Our flasher wrasse Has dug out a cave and sleeps under it.
The mushroom grew on that plug/shell combo after the original one detached. The green star polyp was a hitchhiker bonus with the mushroom.
