New hammer, stuff coming out of it

Hey guys, I've seen this before on other peoples hammers but I just want to make sure it's nothing bad. On 1 or 2 of the hammers there is some slimy snot lookin stuff hanging off it and flowing in the current. What could it be?

Here's a picture under actinics, you can see the stuff I'm talking about on the lower right hand side of the coral.

It ate too much today and is taking a dump. Excretions form coral are common and may be expelling waste or having sex, althought the latter depends on the mood of the moon.

LOL You laugh, but he's absolutely right. Corals share the same opening for their mouth and anus. Fun Fun huh? It's just expelling the un-needed food.
