Get some Iodine, like Lugols for dipping any coral that shows signs or symptoms of BJD.

You have any fish that might rub up on the coral? It took me ages to figure out that my clown was rubbing on my torchs, I never saw him, but it was enough to damage the tissue and brown jelly. Hammers were fine for the most part. Got rid of the clown and hasn't happened since (knock on wood).

Sorry, I never had luck stopping it, just cutting off the head and no luck if it was a wall..

Have all your euphyllia demise been from brown jelly? Your perimeters seem fine. If all euphyllia at different times seem to be short rentals. It may be too short acclimation issues, lighting or water current. How long is your average time frame for euphyllia?
 

Set it and forget it: Do you change your aquascape as your corals grow?
