Anubias problem. Rot?

[Mic]

My plants were delivered a week ago and put in this 29 gallon tank that I set up a couple weeks before. 2 anubias nana out of 6 have a strange fuzz/fungas(?) growing on the rhizome and are losing leaves.
     One is superglued to driftwood, the other wedged between 2 rocks. Has anyone dealt with this before?

I also had this with my Anubias. But I was growing them out of water. I don’t know what’s wrong with yours. With my problem, they didn’t seem affected by this.

I didn’t have a photo of mine at the time, but mine recovered and grew new roots recently.

Sorry for the upside down photo, my browser is not cooperating with me.

Thanks, this is new for me, so anything I can’t easily google concerns me. 😆

No problem, I just washed mine off and that seemed to do it. But I lost around half of them because of root loss.

it's not anubias rot, it's something else.  Almost looks like a fungal issue or worms.

Where was the glue applied on the roots or rhizome of the 2 affected plants?

To my eyes, the rhizome appears to have only a bottom half.  It looks like something happened to the top half.  This is aside the fact that it's growing the weird white stuff.  🤔

@nabokovfan87  What do you think about my comment?  Did the top half rot off before this white stuff started.  It's a mystery to me.

I'm not sure.  The rhizome looks like it's there.  I see some light brown spots on the left (very old) end of the anubias which is pretty typical.  I do see some mix amongst whatever this fungus stuff is.  Basically, if I had to guess, something caused this fungus to appear and it attacked/fed off the rhizome, which then caused it to decay or start to rot.  I see BBA a lot attack specific parts of the plant, weaken it, then progress to other parts.
