Hey all, wondering if anybody could help me cause I’d hate to lose this coral.

My welso was receding slightly, I figured it was because of some Dino outbreak I’m trying to treat with microbacter 7 right now. But I looked at it today after work and it’s taking a bit of a nose dive. The first photo is the coral a month ago, vs today. It has almost like a film over half of it, and my first thoughts brown jelly disease. Any advice?

parameters: dkh-9
Nitrate -20
Phosphate-.2
Calcium -480
Mag-1450

My suggestion would be to use a turkey baster to get all the gunk off the coral, pick the coral up off the sand bed, do a thorough vacuum clean of the sand bed, turkey baster to the rock to get off (and suction out of the tank) as much of the gunk as you can (during the cleaning, make sure your corals aren’t being covered by the gunk, maybe even move the coral into a separate small container of tank water while you do this), do a big water change 25-50%, put the coral in a low light, low flow area and monitor it (doing regular water changes)
