Hi everyone. New to the forum so please excuse if I'm posting in the wrong spot.

The last few nights I have noticed long filament like stings extending from out my new toadstool leather coral. The strings look like very thin feathers that retract after a while. Only two strings and its not shredding. I have photos but havnt worked ow to post them. Please help. I just need to know if they're something to worry about
