What is this on my Millepora being dipped?

[Trevor40]

This millepora was dipped 6 weeks being treated for aefw then left in the frag tank for 2 weeks to recover. I dipped it in Lugos Iodine(about 6 drops per 2 cups) and these clear blobs came out of the coral holes where the polyps should be. Anyone have an idea what they could be?

Could these be mesenterial filaments?

That would be my guess as well.

That coral looks like a poo stick. It is the Jared's Rainbow millepora cut from RMF tank and has seen better days. I am certain I can get it to color up again and be a stunner.

That's exactly what those are
