How long has your tank been set up? Have you relocated tank / done any major moving lately?

It's a little hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like white stuff in patches with some strings? I had something that looked similar in a tank I moved. Mine turned out to be some dead patches caused by trauma from the move. The white patches showed up at different times, first a few then a lot more. I siphoned off the white stuff and kept an eye on water parameters. It is fine now. I did, before I figured out that it was a few necrotic patches, look in my reef books and panicked that I had a non-treatable/cause unknown rare coral disease. This tank was primarily soft corals, a LOT of star polyps, a few leathers. I moved another tank about two months later that was mostly LPS, some SPS, 6 clams ... had an entirely different set of problems, but no white stuff.
