Pagoda cup shedding mucus?

Hi all, I've notice that my pagoda cup's polyps were all close and did not pay much attention. I started my weekly cleaning of my tank's glass and moved the cup and then it started having these mucus like strands all around it. Should i be concern? Is this normal? The cup is been on my tank for over a month now. Never happen before.

Very normal... I always avoided touching mine because they instantly start sliming like crazy. It would have these 4" to 6" strings of slime floating in the water off of it. The cup will be fine...
