Can you post pics of coral under white lighting ?My frogspawn started not looking great over the past week or so. But now it's partially brown and slimy? Is it too far gone to save?

Ouch- polyp bailout but I can also say wall hammer is some of the most challenging and with the heavy skeleton mass requires stable calcium of at least 400
Looking at safety data sheet of Aiptasia X, it is a mixture of Calcium chloride and Sodium hydroxide AKA lye or caustic soda. Lye coagulates proteins and it may cause serious burns when ingested or when it touches skin or mucosa.Could apstasia x have hurt it? I used it a couple weeks ago and I suppose some could have gotten into the frogspawn since the apstasia was above it
What should I do then?Looking at safety data sheet of Aiptasia X, it is a mixture of Calcium chloride and Sodium hydroxide AKA lye or caustic soda. Lye coagulates proteins and it may cause serious burns when ingested or when it touches skin or mucosa.
If it spilled onto your Frogspawn it could definitely damage it.
Remove the coral and smell it (seriously). If it makes you gag, it's definitely brown jelly, and since it's a wall variety, you can't really frag off the infected part... So it's probably a goner unfortunately.What should I do then?

Yep, that could definitely injure itCould apstasia x have hurt it? I used it a couple weeks ago and I suppose some could have gotten into the frogspawn since the apstasia was above it
Is there any hope for it?I smelled it and it doesn't smell bad. It just smells like aquarium lol
That's a good thing but doesn't rule out BJD. If you can remove the coral to a container of tank water, shake or blow off as much of the gunk as you can, and then put into another container of water. Add a couple drops of iodine until the water is the color of tea, and let it sit 10-15 minutes before putting it back in the tank.I smelled it and it doesn't smell bad.

If it was the apstasia x, will it just stop spreading on its own?That's a good thing but doesn't rule out BJD.

Cipro would be best, but iodine might stop any healthy tissue from becoming infected.
No. Once a wall variety of fimbriaphyllia becomes infected, usually the entire piece dies. You've basically got one large single head of frogspawn, as opposed to several separate heads on a branching colony...If it was the apstasia x, will it just stop spreading on its own?
