Hard to tell in the blues but yes it could be and if it is I’d remove , dip , and put in quarantine
Try dipping in iodine and raising the current in the quarantine tank . It’s not easy to cure but if you work quickly you might have a small chance . Only other thing is to try to frag any good parts of it . This will be very stressful on the coral . Get a positive diagnosis before taking the action stated above as the pic shown is too blue for me to tell and I’m not a expert on brown jelly as I’ve never experienced it before personally sure it’s not algae

Yeah, it could be BJD. Looks like it. The coral will slime itself....I've seen people on the forum try and sometimes beat it with repeated H202 then iodine dips....good luck. Keep us posted. When I had it on a hammer and caught it I tried to "blow it off" and ended up blowing the whole polyp off. Sometimes it's worse than ya think. Boy, this is a positive post. Sorry.
