Brown Jelly confirmation and questions

[Opley]

Hey everyone, I was hoping I could get an confirmation of brown jelly disease on this torch. I have been losing a head maybe once every other week for a few months. I have a feeling 4-5 heads are on their deathbed. I have seen a little bit of brown coming out of the head before but didn't capture it.

If you believe it is brown jelly disease, what are your thoughts on why it is only on this LPS and only affecting a head every few weeks?
If you do not think it is brown jelly what do you think it is?
How would you treat this since it appears to be localized.

I know my photo is not the best! Thank you

Do you have clownfish that are swimming in this coral?

The image may show BJD, but your description is a weak infection if it is BJD. The loss of one head after another sounds like classical BJD. THe weakest, or most infected head dies first, and the infection slowly kills the LPS present until they are all gone, or until the tank gets treated, (in most BJD infection reports.)

I would treat the whole tank with Cipro as a precaution to what appears to be a slowly moving BJD infection and not wait a few more weeks trying to guess which head is going to disappear next.

Thank you very much for your response!
