Little unsure kinda looks like a little stn
 
It’s definitely encrusting the plug but when I started to notice tissue lose and the white stings coming off I got concerned.
 
Anything changed in the tank? Parameters, lighting? Are other acres okay? Ask yourself all those and more. I saw a slight decrease in polyp extension and I said, somethings wrong. Guess what? I had reset my BubbleMagus to increase the two part and didn't exit. The thing stopped dosing for a week! My ALK dropped to 6.3. I started it up SLOWLY and the ALK is rising day by day.
Just an example of silly things that can have ill effect on our pets.

I did go over everything. Checked my Neptune dos to make sure everything was dosing properly. Check my temp with a Hanna. Compared all my trident parameters with Red Sea and Hanna checkers and they all with in there Accuracy window.the only thing I did was different dose vibrant 2 ml 2 weeks ago to try to help with bubble allergy. I do have a icp test be delivered tomorrow. All my other sps look great it’s just this one. Hopefully I am just over thinking it and it’s fine.
 
I am hardly an expert, but if this is what you're talking about, it looks like a mesenterial filament to me

Is this a Foxflame by chance?

Mine has the same look too it on the edges of the base where it is encrusting.
 
I've seen mine do that a lot when they're basing out. Might be mesenterial filaments clearing the way for new growth.
