What is this thing? It looks like clear bubble algae or something. I doubt that's what it is...I've got two emerald crabs and bubble algae has never crept into my tank.

Kinda looks like brown jelly, to be safe, I'd siphon that glob off with a smaller diameter tube, give the lepastea a lugols dip and return to tank, up the flow its getting as well

Can brown jelly disease present clear? I've never had a bout with that particular ailment.

in a small mass yes, in a large mass like when BJ infects a euphyllia.

Again, I'm just speculating going off pics, if it's not consuming something and it looks like bacteria (clear-brownish slime) on a coral, I would take the action I said above.

Second opinions should be given consideration as well.
