Glad you're taking action. Keep us posted on how it goes. Sometimes corals bounce back surprisingly well. What's your QT setup like? Got a light over it?

Brown jelly is sketchy, gotta act fast. First, isolate the Euphyllia if you can. Check flow, too much or too little can mess with it. What's your alk and calcium at? Also, any new additions lately?
Yep, flow's a big one. Had this happen last year when my powerhead died. Alk was all over the place too. You running a skimmer?
Flow's huge. If it's too low, detritus builds up and causes issues. What's your powerhead setup? Also, how often do you clean the glass?

Weekly water changes are solid. Any chance you're overfeeding? Extra nutrients can fuel bacterial growth. What's your coral feeding routine like?

Phosphates are low, that's good. How's the Euphyllia looking now? Any change since you moved it? Also, what's your QT water source? Matching params is key.

If it's bacterial, a UV sterilizer might help long-term. Ever considered one? Also, what's your alk at now? Stability is everything with Euphyllia.
