Wall Frogspawn DYING

[reef_life_chick]

Anyone know what is going on with my frogspawn? Today I saw what looked like food sitting on it so I used my turkey baster to flush it of and saw that it was not food. The tissue is falling of! Half of it seems to be doing fine but the other half is just decaying. How can I bring it back to life? Has anyone tried maybe cutting the dying part out? I know this maybe a bad but i just want to try and save it. Any idea?

Tank
25 lagoon AIO with kessil a360 its been running for 2 months

Parameters
PH 8.2
Ammonia .50
Nitrite .25
Nitrate 10
ULR Phosphate 0.45
Calcium 436
Dkh 9

Salinity 1.022
yes my Salinity is low I am working on it

I would say your ammonia and nitrite should read 0 and phosphates are a little high. Water change matching salinity and temp. Don't raise your salinity too fast.

How old is you tank and what test kits are you working with?

When you blow at it, does brown film resembling Brown Jelly Syndrome come off?
If it does, make sure to not get any of it on your other corals! Suction it out/isolate your frogspawn if possible and either dip with an iodine solution or peroxide solution.

I do not think your tank is cycled.
Ammonia should be o and nitrites as well.

It looks like decaying flesh more then a brown jelly film. Its like the flesh it self turned a light brown and is falling off. Is this brown jelly syndrome? I have never experienced it or seen it. It also has no smell.

I had two sea slugs recently end up in my filter and get blended by the pump.

.5 ammonia would be burning it I would imagine. Not cycled yet. or not enough biological filtration after a recent addition.

I have another one next to it but that one is perfect. This is why I do not understand what is going on.

If you don't run carbon you should on account of the blended sea slugs. Also I notice that one is about 6 inches higher than the other, too much light intensity is a possibility. A third component is that ammonia and nitrite number, I do wonder how long your tank has been up, however the other is doing well and that is true. I also second the water change, do a few large ones over the course of the week. I agree that salinity number is low but probably not an emergency, so bring it up slowly.

In conclusion I wonder the most about light intensity, potential sea slug toxin, and curious if you feed your euphillyas?

 

[PTXReef]

Is there much flow in that area as well? Do you by any chance know if that light is too strong at that level in the tank? How was the frogspawn acclimated?

Regardless, I would dip the coral since you mentioned tissue decay (may be a bacterial infection). If nothing works and it’s still rapidly declining the last resort may be to frag it, but if the underlying issue is with tank maturity or water parameters, that needs to be solved.

Water change now and add bacteria in a bottle (Microbacter 7 or similar) to get rid of ammonia and nitrites. They must be 0 or the tank is not cycled. The animals are suffering.
