I've seen a couple of my corals "poop" out that stuff over the last year. They are all still doing "A-OK".

Like the others said nothing to worry about coming from the middle mouth area like that as its expelling waste.

looks like it could be expelling some zooxanthellae. I agree with dones20 this could be a sign of stress. Sometimes however corals will do that if you change a light bulb or move them closer to a light source, but many things can cause stress.

expelling zooxanthellae just like m2434 stated, nothing to be worried about at all, it is adjusting to it's new enviroment

Agree with the previous 2. Does not necessarily mean that the coral is not going to do well. Could be the result of stress or being exposed to more intense lighting. It looks low in the tank already. If not, move it down and watch it. Most euphyllia are not exposed to super intense lighting....well compared to SPS. They can certainly adapt to it and get to where they can be exposed to it and do well.
