Hi all, I opened my ESB last night to move to the keg and found this. Beer smelled fine, I didn't take a sip, just racked from underneath and put the keg on gas. Should I do anything else, or just drink ASAP?

Looks like it could be mold. Could be brett or some other pellicle forming critter.

You should give it a taste and see how it is. If it tastes ok, you probably want to get that keg in the cold to prevent further growth. You should also make sure you seriously sanitize anything you used for racking.
 
I'd drink it and bleach bomb your equipment. But then again, it's a blurry picture, so I'm just being on the extra safe side. Could just be strange bubbles. (Best case senario.)
 
I think it was just strange bubbles - either way, it's been consumed and it was delicious...
