Awesome videos. First two maybe some kind of siphonophore? The last one, at least their bellies appear to be full of algae. You got some weird stuff there.:p
 
Total guess - some sort of nematode that is eating/feeding off the coral mucus. I don't think the worms are the problem, but the coral is probably stressed if it's releasing mucus. I think SPS releases mucus to slow down photosynthesis? How long have you had the acro? Did you change lighting recently?

I think the second is the larval form of a nematode?

My sps is new and in random time this sps out the white muccus idk what it is. So i put in microscope and the white muccus always moving.
And yes this absolutly not siphonophore.
This muccus come out from the tip acro.
