Strange slime/eggs?

I just noticed this in my aquarium, no idea what they are, or how they got in the bird nest coral... can someone help me identify it please?

The webbing looks like vertmid snail. You can see that you have one bottom right under the coral.

Yeah, I definitely have some, just never seen them do that before, let alone the white things in it.

Looks to me like Shedding which is typical with change in conditions especially with relocating them.
Assure your salinity is at least 1.025 and temp and other parameters are good. Change in salinity or flow will cause this. Generally corals release mucus under stressed conditions such as defense against biofouling, UV radiation, sediments, pollutants, and desiccation within the tank. If you ever transferred coral, you will notice a quick release of slime. Montipora plate very well known to do this.
Assure flow is not too strong - same with light. . alk not elevated, ca not low and Phosphates not elevated.
Adding iodine to water will slow this process down.

Birds nest don't shed
