Coral flesh is damaged. I see in the pic some new recession? How long have you had this piece?

I’ve had it since August. I’ve noticed that it hasn’t been as “happy” the last few days. Then today I noticed these small white stringy things at the base of it. They almost remind me of the “guts” of a mushroom.

So are these eggs? Guts?

Based off of the pic it looks like damaged flesh so yes (guts). I would keep a look out to figure out why thats happening. Do you have any fish or inverts that go by that coral?

I only have 2 clowns and a twelve line wrasse, some snails and a cleaner shrimp. I will keep an eye on it and see if it gets worse. I dipped it and nothing came off of it, so I think I can rule out EEFW. Also my 3 torch corals are all happy and healthy.

What sort of flow is hitting it? High flow can cause damage of that sort.
