Whats This ??

I posted this in the softies forum but I didnt get any response on it so I wanted to see if anyone here could help.

I have had my new Ricordia in the tank for about 2 weeks now and I just noticed this white almost silky looking stuff under it that was not there before. Can anyone tell me what it is? Color is not bleached out as it seems in the pics. Just a bad digital shout on the Now pics.

Before

Now with white stuff under it.

I can't tell much from the pictures. I wouldn't worry as long as the coral seems healthy. I'm not as familiar with Ricordea as with some other soft corals, though.
