disease help - blue cespitularia rot?

Hi - we have a tank with some soft corals and about two weeks ago I noticed a mushroom sort of just dissolving into itself and now we have a blue cespitularia that started doing the same thing yesterday. (I'll try to get my photo attached)

The only thing new to the tank in the past month are a pair of sand sifting gobies - can't help but wonder if they have dug some sort of bacteria out of the sand bed that is causing this - really hoping to identify what it is so that I can look into solutions.

Hate to pull this guy out of the tank but don't think he is going to make it - two days ago he was fully attached to the plug, open and large - now is is barely attached and the trunk is almost gone.

Any help is appreciated!

Have you checked your parameters since you added to the bio load? Any changes, how deep is your sand bed?
