Is this BJD on my torch?

[WUZUPNOW]

As you can see it is still fully extended and not showing any signs yet but worried it's the calm b4 the storm. I used a flashlight to get white light on it to see the brown spots, hope that helped. Thanks ahead of time to all who take time to respond.

It looks green in the picture but that spot is more brownish in person.

I wasn't sure if it is growing new skeleton or the start of something horrible but the ring just above the base (immediately below the red circe) has darkened considerably as well.

I don't think so, brown jelly is unmistakeable, it litterally looks like a big glob of brown jelly right on top of the polyps. Your coral looks fine, it wouldn't extend like that if there was brown jelly

Looks mostly like algae to me.
BJD happens fast, and shows as a larger 'blob' of jelly like substance on the heads.

Ok cool ……. Thanks everyone

update ....... I lost it. 2 days after this post it stopped extending completely and started covering the head this white/brown stuff. So is this bjd?

BJD is a bacterial infection that develops when parameters are way off in a tank. This causes coral immune systems to collapse allowing BJD to invade and typically kill euphyllia in 24 to 48 hours. Can't tell anything from your pics. We need full tank parameters and age of the tank. Any other euphyllia showing signs of infection? BJD has a strong foul odor too.

After inspecting the skeleton more I have realized there was a lot of dog hair stuck to/in it. Is it possible that so much hair got caught in it and irritated it until it developed bjd?

Brown jelly disease looks like some slimy foggy thing over your coral. DO NOT MISTAKE BJD FOR POOPING CORAL. I did this and accidentally threw out a perfectly healthy coral. Your coral is just very healthy!

I've actually lost it. I was messing around and just blowing out the dead tissue and stuff and happen to notice all the dog hair that was coming off of it. That was all after I got that white/brown thing off the top of the head.
