Hi, can I ask you to post photo from the top?
Pic isn’t clear but your description sounds like it could be vermetid snails. Maybe the tubes are under the corals flesh.
Understood thanks for the response! During feeding time it does seem to potentially have some mucus. During feeding time while the candy cane's tentacles are out is looks very similar and the tentacles or web seem to extend further when there is food alsoIt's better to take more photos under different angles and is it there something else coming out instead of the tentacles? mucus or something ?

Yes sir and thank you. Yes, it the tentacle looking things do extend and retract. During feeding time it gets extended about an inch out and starts to look more web likeCan I ask you please for longer video, under white light?
And is it retracting in at some point if you shade over it, or it remain always like that ? (which will give me the answer)
ONLY White I mean (if you can)

Absolutely! This is the first time I've seen this much stringy looking stuff going into the CC's mouthHi, can I ask you to post photo from the top?
Never seen anything like this, but it remind me the CC tissue to be pinched by vermetid snail, as I don't see the tubes can't confirm. something else can be if isn't moving anything in/on this place, can be damaged the tissue and somehow algae to grow up there, and for the coral to be hard to heal that place. I have 1 Fungia plate coral, and I took it to rescue it, the tissue was damaged on many place, but left one only and it keep regrowing hair algae (or something like) the coral very slow heal this particular area.

I'm not seeing any tubes on the stalk 1 web like strand on it. I used a tool to lightly touch it and it felt solid with no retractionAnd if it's, I'm not completely sure how to take it off.
Can you take a photo under the tissue (on the bottom side of the CC, the stalk is it something tube like onit ?

0 retraction after touching it heres a video sry for the shaky hands lolthat's od, isn't vermetid snail for sure, it look like spaghetti worm that way and from the description, but it can't be there.
A can you shade it by hand, ot touch it very gently with something, is it retracting ? That's important![]()
I should mention though that they definitely seem to extend during feeding. My LFS guys aren't sure what it is or what to do with it. It's seemed to have grown, vermatid have been introduced to my tank from the live rock. I'm ready to go on super glue but it's in the corals flesh as you mentioned. Is there any possibility that this is the skeleton protruding from idk a laceration and the stringy stuff poorly damaged sweeper tentacles? Is it completely out of the question to go in with some tweezers but you've seen my shaky camera hands might do more harm than good!And if it's, I'm not completely sure how to take it off.

can't be aiptasia there, the CC will be dead long ago (or at least the particular head )Is this aiptasia? I read this online:
"Often times arrive as tiny babies hiding in rock crevices, under coral flesh where we can't see them etc. Super tough to kill, they survive most attempts to eradicate them with dips etc. ! Depending on the light over their tank Aiptasia can look dark brown to almost clear in color. They can also extend & look long or you may see just tentacles that may look like hairs"
