If that's Lymphosystis, it's definitely the worst I've ever seen. I'm not going to say it definitely is, because I just can't determine yes or no from those pics, but I have only ever seen it on the...

If they lived, which I doubt because I wouldn't expect the Maroons to be nice either, it would take you hours and hours to get them out of that 300 gallon tank when you were ready to move them again....
