How long have you had it ?
The white gewy stuff is it’s insides and they usually start to look like that when they are extremely stressed or about to die

mine did that while back, i was about to toss it out untill i read they do this sometimes. I just watched it to see if it would deflate but after a couple of days it came back to normal and beed doing fine ever since. I freaked out because it looked like it was spilling its guts out.

IMO it’s best not to keep the nem in a isolation box at the top of the tank since it can’t adjust to your lights which adds stress.
Are you testing with an API test kit ?
