Notice some brown stuff this morning on one side of gold tip torch. Any ideas what it is? Fed it and did a small water change yesterday.

Params are normal for tank

Was a torch head in that area? It is a little had to tell from the pic but it looks like a head is dying/brown jelly disease. But if it is just on the side and a head wasnt in that area, then maybe it is something else.
 
Thanks for the response. No head in that area.

Thanks for the quick responses all. It was indeed brown jelly. Did my best to turkey blast and suck it all out, dipped it, but the jelly came back. I had to permanently pull the poor guy out.
