I got 3 polyps of a Torch on Saturday (12/1/12) at the LFS (my first coral). It acclimated fine and opened up that same day. Here's a pic from the next day

Tonight just before lights out I came into the living room and saw one of the polyps had retracted and had a strange brown stringy thing coming out of the receded polyp. Here's a pics

As you can see the other polyps appear to be fine.
1) What is this?
2) Is this something to worry about?
