Could anyone help identify this disease? My royal gramma died recently and I took samples of his gills under my microscope

Our take

In a recent post, a user seeks assistance in identifying a potential disease affecting their deceased royal gramma. They examined gill samples under a microscope, considering possibilities such as brook, velvet, nocardia, or mycobacterium. The user expresses uncertainty about the last two slides, suspecting they may simply show crystallized saltwater. This inquiry reflects a broader concern among aquarists about the health of their aquatic pets.

Do y'all think it's brook, velvet, nocardia, or mycobacterium? I think the last two slides could be just crystallized saltwater but correct me if I'm wrong. (Btw my ruby reef rally pro is arriving today)
