Is this Brown Jelly Disease?

[Chelymay]

I am new to this hobby (a little over a year) and just noticed this. I have had this a month or so.

I have gone through and looked at a lot of photos but it is hard to see on other people’s photos.

Is it a goner?

I am afraid to move it because of all the nightmare post I’ve read.

Added a picture of my apex parameters. The tank is stable and everything else bangin

Be gentle lol

Thanks

To be honest, I've never even seen Brown Jelly Disease myself. So I can't help with that.

But lets see if we can't get you some other help calling for the reefsquad.

Need a better picture with more white light please. Brown jelly looks just like it sounds.
What coral is in the picture?

below is a pic of brown jelly on a Duncan coral.

It is a long tentacle plate coral.

That is a plate coral? It could just be dying and not any disease.

Posted at exact same time. I did figure this as a plate coral. In the past I have had one just die. Looked very much like this. The one I had didn't like the higher alkalinity. Fixed that and it grew back. Other things to think of are too much flow, light, and nutrients. Also maybe lack of food.

Yes it is. It is only on one small area of the plate. The rest of it comes out and looks fine. I added brighter pictures

I have been feeding it plankton by hand 3 times a week plus brine shrimp.
My alk stays around 8.5 to 9.5. I just try to keep it stable rather then chase numbers. Some recommend 12 for alk but that is hard to maintain.

Here it this morning. Yesterday I dipped it in peroxide and removed the dead tissue. Then an iodine dip. Rinsed with tank water a put it back in. I figured what’s going to happen will happen. Reefing is a roller coaster lol

It would be good though to have alk as stable as possible. If it is bacterial an iodine dip wouldn't hurt. Looks more like die off than a disease in brighter picture. I don't like to say but if it gets past mouth it might not end up good. Though leave skeleton in tank some people have babies come off of dying plates.
