“Strings” coming off my Zoas?

[nfrench2100]

They appear to be coming out of the mouths of the Zoas but can't tell 100%. Haven't fed them in 2 days. It looks like actual strands of human hair, but it's not. Does anyone know what this is?

Parameters are
Ph: 8.0
Ammonia: 0
Nitrates: 5
Nitrites:0
Phos: 0.5
Calcium:400
Kh:9dkh
SG:1.023

They appear healthy to me. Good PE and all my other corals look good. Thanks in advance

If I had to guess they aren't coming from the zoas and are dislodged Mesenterial filaments from another coral in the tank..
I'd think they just caught on the coral as they were blowing around..

I believe Panda was going for vermetid snail mucus strings..

I wouldn't worry and would just let it be or pick them off..

Thanks for the reply guys. My Skunk cleaner shrimp went after whatever it was and dislodged them. One was floating around the top of the water so I scooped it out with my finger. They're all gone now. Just freaked me out when my lights came on, and I looked over to see it lol
