Brown jelly disease?

Have you changed anything ? And yes do you see any brown jelly attached? If you can give it a bit more flow. Or ever cleaning of powerhead can do it.

I changed salt mix.. But this happened almost a week after last water change.. Changed from reef crystals to AV

I just blew the shit out of it with the powerhead.. Next I will frag off the bad parts if It keeps receding.. This thing is the size of a volleyball.. I'll be pissed if I lose it!

I would cut the bad parts out just in case. If you don’t it can keep spreading to the other heads. I have had torch and frog spawns for years and I have had that from time to time. I always cut the bad heads off. It grows back soon enough.

Took some pliers and snapped off the dead heads and some of the surrounding ones.. Crossing my fingers!

In a few weeks you will hardly notice it. The open space will get filled in by the surrounding heads.

Looks like brown jelly - cut the heads - dip in revive and hope for the best. Brown jelly is nasty if it takes hold
