It's only affecting these two corals so far, an acan and a trachyphyllia, and both started at about the same time in the last ~24 hours. The stuff on the Trachy blows off with a powerhead. So far no flesh damage on either that I see, but I'm hoping to avoid that.

It's definitely white, but the filter gives it some color.

I don't dose carbon or anything, and I'm not currently running carbon/GFO. I do have purigen.

I'll post test results on everything as an edit/update

Mensentrial filaments, something in the water it probably irritating them
On the Acan I could agree there, but the Trachy definitely just blows off.

I assume WC and carbon is the go-to then? I have some SPS that are unaffected.
 
the trachy is probably just mucus, maybe detritus has settle on it and thats how its trying to clean itself off. how is the flow on it?
