So I dipped and moved this up from my frag tank, not the things that look like over extended polyps

Not seeing this on any other corals moved up stairs
 
Turkey baste it off probably just slime defense mechanism corals do. Dhould be fine gotta be careful dipping smooth skin corals very sensitive
 
william cool coral, but it is not a blue bottlebrush. Bottlebrush is not smooth skin. Now as madman said, smooth skin acros in general are very finicky with dips. i would not do a dip with any of the ones you mentioned. Instead i would do a melafix marine dip, its easier on the coral and it will still kill some pests.
