Montipora Dying?

[NinjaMask]

I recently got a montipora yesterday, and noticed tiny white spots in the middle, and a very thin white thread hanging onto the rim of the coral. Can anybody tell me what this means?

Let's see a pic. How recently added?

Added Yesterday. Here:

Hard to tell from pic but I would go google search montipora eating nudibranch.

 

I had introduced them into my tank and had them decimate a spongodes; took me embarrassingly long to realize that is what was going on. 

 

If you can blow the little white things off with a turkey baster that is probably what they are.

If it isn't a nudibranch, what could it be?

Any other possibilities?

Could they be mesenterial filaments? Are they attached or do they come off the coral?

 

Maybe it needs some more time to acclimate.

Not to highjack, but I just got a monti with the same thing. Any developments? 

[do not smoke the reef(er)]

Any info on the lighting? Type? What are the settings on your lights? 

 

How high up in the tank is this monti? 

 

might be bleaching

or just from an alk swing

Monti's will slime if disturbed.
