Yesterday these things were on the side of the frag. Today they seem to have moved to the mouth. Thier like lettuce balls. What are they?

should be this:
Mesenterial filaments are string-like extensions of the mesenteries—the internal folds of tissue which create structure within a coral polyp's body
 
Was going to say looks like the filaments or guts my mushrooms spit out when they aren't happy.
 
Thats why I did not want to say it was good or bad or if you needed to make changes. When you see this on mushrooms they usually die shortly after in my case but on lps its more of a reaction to a neighbor or eating response. Even see the Blue Planet series? they had a few time lapse shots of the corals going to war and puking up these filaments which stick to other corals near buy and it straight up eats any flesh where it touches.
this one is pretty crazy...poor Acro
 
I hope not! I just got these 3 corals last Thursday. It's an AWC frag tank. Water has been mixed and heated for days. The lighting is even set with a PAR meter.

I have no explanation if thier unhappy other than particularly rough shipping :(

Could this potentially be left behind from the frag tank they came from? (If their packed in like sardines)
