Whats is happening?

Well I looked into my tank today to find this.

The only recent change was the addition of an additional seio 1500.. I guess I may be jumping the gun. But, if something like a flatworm would cause this, I would like to fix it asap. If this is just a normal thing, thats cool to.

looks like it is either sliming or feeding

Sorry if you can't see to clearly. It is really sliming up. The stings of slime are hard to photograph.

It looks like your acro are under some kind of stress to release the white stringy slime. The increased water flow from the extra powerhead could be the likely cause. Monitor your corals closely over the next couple of day to see if they have adjusted to the increased flow. If they continue to excrete the white substance, you may want to consider taking the extra powerhead out or using a smaller powerhead.

Sorry for not posting earlier. My skimmer was overflowing for some reason. It is still foaming like crazy, but all sps seem to be none the worse for wear. I fully expected to come home to a bleached tank, but I was suprised with no bleaching. Thanks for the suggestions! If I can't resolve with a water change and very wet skimming, I will try moving the powerhead.

Nope. I am reasonbly certain the problem was my skimmer overflowing. But, I have been finding hairy acro crabs that I didn't see when inspecting the corals several months ago.
