Could you take a photo? It is probably safe not to panic.

I found white stuff (like thick white slime) on one of my rocks and a bit of it stuck on the side of my clown fish. My Euphyllia had fallen off the rock and it oozed this stuff. It fell off the Clown and I vacumned the rock. Haven't seen it since. The Euphyllia seems to be fine. Anyone know what it is? Is it coral waste?
