so im doing a water change on my tank, and as im filing it with new water, i notice this white fuzz floating around.... i stopped for a minute to check out where its from, and its all over certain spots on my fake coral. any idea what it could be and how to fix it?

I get that too. I think it's because I pour the water in too quickly and stir up the substrate releasing debris and old food that never got thoroughly vacuumed.

Has it died down by now or still there?

Maybe some weird algae? Try cleaning it off and see if it returns. Are they fish doing ok?
