If the strings are long and thin it is probably expelling its zooxanthellae. Have you had this coral long? Have you moved it recently so that it is getting more/less light? IF you fed it a large meal recently it might be expelling waste...
Get that PO4 under control!

My LPS corals expelled waste that looked like little poops. I observed long reddish/brown strings when they were stressed and bleaching (expelling zooxanthellae).

my LPS expel waste that look just like what Meg&Ryan was describing, I would think it is that before expelling zooxanthellae, which is not a common thing.

Sounds like I am out numbered!
If that is poop, what the heck does it look like when they jettison zooxanthellae?

Little catapults come out and hurl zooxanthellae at the other corals.
