Couldnt see anything from the picture. But I would ensure its not brown jelly. Could never hurt to do a quick dip to be safe.

I've been keeping Euphyllia for 14 years (I think), and I've luckily never seen it. But yes, that seems like what people call 'Brown Jelly,' which is a bacterial infection. Sorry.

Darn, that was I was worried about but it was hard to see from pictures. That is definitely brown jelly. I would remove immediately and dip in iodine. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s probably too far gone. I’ve lost numerous torches to BJD. It happens fast. I’ve only managed to save a couple that have developed it by dipping right away.
