Hello everyone, I have this wall frogspawn that I notice the tissue started to melt a week ago. I dipped on iodine and still haven’t stop it. Tank parameter are normal. Thank you

Wall-type euphyllia rarely do well in captivity. I think it has something to do with the skeleton being cut and eventually they just go downhill.

They prefer lower light and flow. Having parameters close to sea water will also help. That looks to far gone to save, infection spread to much. Acting fast is what is needed when this happens, lots of iodine and a wet saw to cut off the infection, saved many walls this way. People say you cant frag walls, but I have done so many times!

The line is the cut skeleton and the circled part is the tissue receding as a result of that cut. If you took a branching hammer and cut the head in half, it would eventually die. I agree with @Reefer40b - probably can’t be saved.

Maybe brown jelly disease , get it out of the tank, it will spread to other euphyllia corals. Been there before , very hard to cure.
