its like if u were to take a coral out from your tank... there will be sand and stuffs attached to some stringy thing....

except that now i am seeing the white stringy thing attached on to the corals and swaying due to the current in the tank....

was thinking its some poo or dead tissues.... but not sure and dun know got danger a not....

they r mucus produced by the corals when they r stressed. try to place a strong powerhead near them to blow it away. my sps will have tat when i re position them.

if the white string things are coming out from the mouth of yr mushy, u or something in the tank must have touch or disturb it. try blowing it off genterly with a powerhead. leave it alone for sometime to recover.

for the brain, this string like slim or mucus may be caused by neibouring corals stinging it.

above are based on y own experience & observations.
