Brown Jelly?

So recently some of my LPS are dying and I have no idea why.

Today I noticed what could be brown jelly or cyano, I'm really not sure as I have never seen brown jelly disease in person, but I have it on 2 of my corals that are completely receding.

I have already lost 2 frogspawns, and my third frogspawn does not look good, nor does my lobo. These corals all have been in my tank for about 2 years now, so I'm clueless as to whats wrong.

Since photobucket is now stupid, I'll post pics in the next post from tapatalk.

I;m sure someone will ask for parameters so I'll post them.

Alk - 8.5
Cal - 420
Mag - 1350
NO3 - 2.5
PO4 - 0.05
Salinity 1.026

It looks more lik cyano to me. Brown jelly looks more like the coral itself is turning into jelly. In you case, it looks like there is tissue recession and exposed skeleton gets covered by cyano.

Also the coral in the picture is more like a octospawn than frogspawn.

Yes I know its an octospawn, but most people just call them a variant of a frogspawn.

I didn't think it was brown jelly from googling pics. The pics I saw looked like the coral itself was turning to jelly.

I have absolutely no idea why they are dying then.
