Infected Candy Canes?

[Clueless_Reefer]

Any help would be great - I woke up this morning and found these growth's/tumors all over my candy canes and am absolutely terrified. I noticed a few days ago they were super stressed out but all of my parameters are in great ranges with the exception of Phosphates & Nitrates being ultra low.

Here's a link to a video I made in case that helps some of you identify it better

I would definitely give them a dip in some lugols if you have it.

I have some lugols iodine if thats what your referring to?

Someone mentioned in a Whatsapp group that I'm in that it could be brown jelly disease? I went ahead and did a dip and plucked off the blobs and will see what happens...

Really? Nobody has any idea on what this stuff is?

For all those interested - here's an update

After speaking with one of the local shops here in Fort Lauderdale which also ran into this issue - it apparently stems from our local water supply. A veterinarian identified the issue as a bacterial infection related to human/animal feces.

We've had water main issues here locally for almost a year I think, so despite all efforts of using a RODI system, using a garden hose to spray out filter socks MIGHT be a root cause, honestly we'll never know. The coral was already stressed out and needed some stability & Lugols dip to fight it all off.
