Need help with new dragon soul

[Tewhitte]

I need some advice with what to do about my new dragon soul torch. I got it two days ago, I'll include pics a video and my parameters. In the center of the three heads there is some brown. Could this be brown jelly? Thanks in advance.

I dose all for reef. 2 mls a day. I also dose 3 ml fuel.

Is that coming out of a mouth?

Let's see up her skirt.

Grab a flashlight and get a will lit with white picture of the flesh underneath the heads. That's usually a dead ringer. Do you see any damage or die off in the area under that brown stuff?

Impossible to tell from the pics but when BJD showed up in my tank it wiped out 4 torches quickly. Your parameters look good though. You can try an iodine dip but that didn't work for mine. If you suspect BJD in your tank run heavy carbon to filter it out.

Do you have any Cipro?

Moved it down to the sand bed

It's coming from the middle where they are splitting

I don't, I do have chemiclean and h202 on hand

You can order Cipro tablets on chewy.

That does not look like the brown jelly I've seen, which is more cloudy. I'd wait and see if it starts to appear at the polyps. Any treatment will stress the torch further.
Can you suck it up with a turkey baster?

Just tried a baster and it won't suck off. Could it be the flesh around those middle heads?

Bjd would suck or blow off. Looks like mesentherial filaments.

I moved it down to the sand bed, Target fed it reef roids and lowered my flow down just in case. I also lowered my lights just to be safe. It plumped up a little but it seems still ticked right in the center. That Brown is right where the split is. No grown on polyps or flesh. Flesh is there but not super expanded down the skeleton

Could it be a sponge or tunicate? Feel like i see some mouths on it.

Can anyone tell what it is tho?

It looks similar to my torches that got BJD but not quite the same. If you can't suck it up with a turkey baster then it may not be. You will know in 12 hours if those heads start dying off. Cipro works but I didn't have any. The way I beat BJD into remission was making sure my parameters were perfect. Ran a chemiclean treatment and then heavy bag of carbon in my sump.
