Hello everyone.
Just wondering about my frogspawn that have white clear bubbles around it. What’s possible happen? And how I can treat it. Since has those bubble the frogspawn barely open up. Thank you

Whoah. Alright lets start with a few questions. What are your water parameters?

Ammonia
Nitrate
Phosphate
Alkalinity
Temperature

To add on to that, is the white soft and jelly and blow in the flow or is it hard and calcified?
 
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 5
Po4 at 0.1
Alk 8.9
Temp 7.8
Sometimes those bubble are not there. But these couple of day it just come out more and more.

+1 on all of this.

@Chandlertank108 Also like to add, what is the flow like in that area? Did you dip it before you put it in? Also can you get some more pictures? The one you posted is kinda blurry.
 
PH ?
Salinity ?

Moderate light and water flow and tissue is receding. We need to find cause and reverse it

The flow is medium. The coral been there for 4 months. Used to open really big and well everyday till those bubbles come.

Ph at 8.2
Salinity 1.026
The coral been there for 4 months, other frogspawn been doing really well
The light setting been always the same
 
Maybe it is an infection. Ca. You try to get another pic of the bubbles, maybe zoomed in closer? I want to be sure it is not some sort of pest. Let's get #reefsquad in here, and defiant ask @KJ If he has any ideas of what the "white bubbles" could be.
If there is an infection what would you do to treat it? This is the closest pict that I can get and just some of those bubble on this pict

The first photo looked like Brown Jelly Disease to me.If it's a infection I would dip in iodine.Be sure to turn off your pumps before removing it. Ultimately moving this to a quarantine tank would be best if you have the option.


 
I would start with an iodine dip. If it does not work I would try a 30 second peroxide dip with a 50-50 solution. Ultimately the best solution would be antibiotics if it's a bacterial/protozoan infection
I agree. Plus it's a wall frogspawn which for some reason is a bit tougher than branching. I doubt this is chemistry related as your numbers are fine.
