Brown Jelly Disease?

RyanTheSquid · Apr 6, 2025

I ordered a new Duncan frag online along with 2 hammers and a clam which all arrived happy. The Duncan never opened up though and ended up melting, I removed it and trashed it. Looking now it seems like it might been brown jelly disease and I have a torch, that I added at the same time that is retracting in another post. Related or am I just over thinking this?

It's nearly fully melted on the photo. Already in the trash now 2 heads melted and flew into the water stream. More worried for the rest of the corals.

I figured but I was just worried because I have a new torch, that wasn't shipped. I added it same day as the rest though and now after a seemingly healthy day it's retracting into the skeleton and I saw some little brown wisps coming from the middle, could have been waste it was excreeting?
