Is this Brown Jelly Disease on my Hammer Coral?

Is this Brown Jelly on my Hammer Coral?

Please see the attached Pictures.

You will need to Click on them to make them Bigger to View what I am referring to.

They are kind of Dark because I used an I-Phone and the Pictures do not come out good.

Here is the Back story.

The Frags were cut from a Large FrogSpawn Colony many Months ago.

They were Bleached White because they were on the Bottom of the Colony and my LFS said to keep them out of the Light or they would die from shock of too much Light.

They are in my Frag Tank which is a 20 Long (30 X 12 X12).

It is Lit by a Single Kessil A150 Ocean Blue 15K LED which is only 32 Watts.

Originally, I kept them covered partly under the Live Ledge that you see behind them in the Picture.

After about a Month they Colored Up a Little so I moved them out from under the Rock Ledge but still at the very edge of the Tank so they got the Least amount of Light.

They have been there for a Week or so.

Today when I came home from work I noticed a Brown Ring around some of them at the Edge of the Skeleton where the Polyp comes out.

I was very concerned as I had heard of Brown Jelly Disease but never had in any of my Aquariums.

I turned the Lights on and the Polyps came out.

This picture was just taken about 3.5 Hours after I turned the Lights on from getting back to work.

I heard that Brown Jelly travels fast from Coral to Coral (LPS anyways) so I am very worried.

So my question is is that Algae that formed on the Skeleton that was getting no Light or is it Brown Jelly.

Hopefully you see what I am talking about but the Pics are not great quality.

Thanks in advance everyone.

To me (and I am not an expert on this) it looks like Algae like when a Coral Dies the White Exposed Skeleton of the Dead Coral gets covered in Algae.

The pictures of Brown Jelly that I have seen on the internet have the actual Hammer Polpy Rotting away and falling off the Skeleton.

But I could be wrong I am just very worried and hoping that it is Algae that is Growing on Exposed Skeleton and not Brown Jelly Disease.

It seems to be most prevalent in the Third Frag in the First Picture (Second from the Right).

The one next to it seems to only have it on the "Claws that Hold the Polyp in" (Best word I could think of).

Anybody?

A better picture under whiter lights would help.

From my experience, brown jelly start on polyps/heads and finished on skeleton (top side)

Those would most likely be closed and dying if they had brown jelly on them, they seem open and happy, so most likely what your seeing is some type of algae or other harmless growth.

Is that common on Hammer/FrogSpawn?

To have Algae Growth like that?

Has anybody seen it before?
