So I woke up early today to leave for a long drive across state and I noticed my scoly looks really really weird. Is this normal is it okay? I have a pic from yesterday and today. Theres no corals in stinging distance as well

Looks like maybe sand on the coral and it's putting out mesenterial filaments as an irritation response.
My scooter blenny probably again. I'm at work for the next 11 hours. Should it sort its self out of should I call my fiance to shake it off? (She has never even touched my tanks so I want to use her as past resort)

Which picture is from today? What is the substance on the scoly in the left? It doesn't look like feeding tentacles.

Usually a light puff from a turkey baster is needed to remove the sand IME

The dim pic is today. The blue pic is last night. I have no idea what's on it I had to rush out the door so I couldnt inspect. Just had time for a quick pic
 
It looks like a bit of tissue burn from the sand but it should heal. Typically mesenterial filaments are a sign of stress and will look different than feeding tentacles.
I hope it's okay! I am supposed to sell it this weekend!
 
I'm going to agree with @DSC reef it looks like feeders. These definitely come out at night but yours look weird. They are extending from it's mouth and it looks like there is some sand debris on its polyp. Not sure what else these could be.
 
Agree with DSC on sand irritation, the very reason I took my scoly and trachy off the bottom as the clowns trying to breed AND clean rocks were fanning sand on them.+
 
Feeders, normal, is this the first time you have seen them?
Night time thing....this is day pics

Different from feeders. The feeders on this guy are thick and surround the whole perimeter of it. These are thin as hair and are spewing from its side not the mouth which makes me think mesenterial filaments
 
I figured it out. I just got home and noticed something on the scoly.
I recently dragged a bunch of mushrooms and there was a peice of the mushroom that detached and went right into the scoly!
