I have had this coral for about a year and have never seen it discharge this much white stuff, I am wondering if it is ok and if this should be removed. I killed some pest anemones with joes juice yesterday so I am thinking this might be the cause. I understood that joes juice is reef safe, but this plate and my RBTA are not looking so hot.
Do I need to be concerned?
Should I remove the white blob from his mouth?
 
As allways thanks for the help

It looks like it is still ok.  Good color and polyp extension.
I'd guess it is just upset about the combo of Joes Juice and dead anemone.
I'd try blowing off some of the mucus.  Also add some carbon.
