So my friend has this coral amd is trying to figure out what this brown slime is. I brought up that I think it's born slime disease. The flesh on the left of the spot is gone around the edge. What do you guys think?

Is the hole itself slimy or around the hole? Have you seen anything moving around said hole? The only reason I ask is because I just removed a gall out of a brain I just bought. I've read about them irritating corals to get them to slime so they can eat the slime.

Hi guys, this is my brain became like this.

Middle of the coral is like carving itself and it is spreading a slime to nearby corals. The middle of it almost became bold.

Could you please help me with that? Thanks!!
