Take a breath!! Don't panic!! It's not the emergency you think it is. It's probably just a protective slime they put off. How did you acclimate them from one tank to the other? Gently blow the stuff off of them, with a turkey baster, and don't let it settle on other corals. Should be just fine.

You're ok. Mushrooms spill out their guts when they are disturbed.

first time experiencing this stuff freaked me out a bit

They'll also do this after eating. Keep in mind that corals only have one hole. It's the mouth and anus. Don't be surprised when they umm..." relieve" themselves.
