Blow them off (ph or turkey baster) and keep more flow than usual on them. I forget what it is called, but it could be the brown crap like jello that will quickly kill you LPSs like frogspawn, torch candy cane ect....if it finds them.
Good luck!

Ok,
Did some quick hunting. It could be brown jelly disease. Need pics to make sure. One suggested cure is a lugols dip. Personally, I do not do the freshwater lugols dip initially. I do 40 drops to a gallon of tank water for 15 minutes while gently shaking the coral every now and then. After a day or two if the problem persists, I do the same with fresh RO water. If you have no Lugols Iodine, get some, but in the mean time increase the flow big time to that area. It can spread, but if caught early, other corals will not be affected. Any signs on other corals, do a dip.
Good Luck

They call it jelly fish disease, so it is a disease. I am not familiar with the concentration of the kent Iodine but it should have dipping instructions on the bottles. I doubt it is as concentrated as Lugols? ARe things better since you sucked it out? I would still keep up the flow.
