Polyps look like they are still there for the most part. Doesn’t look like bailout to me. Can you post an updated photo that’s in focus?
I’m still leaning towards bjd just starting to hit it.

Yeah it is. And yes I do see the brown. Thats a new development. If this is indeed brown jelly how worried should i be for my other coral?Thanks for the photos! Is that just loose flesh hanging in front on the left? Looks kinda brownish between the ridges on top.
No worries! I appreciate the effort to detail as much as you can. Most likely there probably isn't much you could have done differently.sorry my camera sucks but i think these are better pictures
The hammer would be one to watch carefully. Personally I would remove the torch. Turn off all the pumps and gently remove to minimize any possible infected material from remaining in the tank.Yeah it is. And yes I do see the brown. Thats a new development.

Thanks a lot for your help. So in your opinion is this definitely brown jelly and no polyp bailout?The hammer would be one to watch carefully. Personally I would remove the torch. Turn off all the pumps and gently remove to minimize any possible infected material from remaining in the tank.
Polyp bailout mentioned earlier is an entirely different thing and some healthy tissue may remain in the skeleton which could regrow later.
IMO yes it is not polyp bailout. BJD not 100% certain but it kinda looks like it where the brownish mush is between the ridges of the skeleton. BJD is also very stinky.. so if you pull the coral out have a wiff and if it smells really bad that would be another indication. You can also put it in a small container of water and squirt water at the skeleton it with a pipette or turkey baster, or just swish it around and see if some brown muck comes out. Usually it's kinda stringy and slimy lookingThanks a lot for your help. So in your opinion is this definitely brown jelly and no polyp bailout?
Yeah... he smelled like satan's butthole. You were right, gotta be BJD. Threw him out immediately and just did a 15% water change. Sad day but oh well... I was told there would be pain involved in this hobby lolIMO yes it is not polyp bailout.
