brown jelly disease

I know there’s lots of other posts regarding this. But I want to ensure my situation is the same before I toss this guy. All was well through the week. I woke this morning and saw some of the polyps hanging around by some zoas?? From reading it seems it was polyp bailout? Most of the torch seems...

I have noticed today and yesterday that pieces of the duncan were floating around the tank. Upon closer inspection the duncan had black spots on the tips of the tentacles with brown slime blowing off. The torch shown in the pictures had similar issues as well as the hammers and frogspawns. I...

Torches are receded, and the water is dirty right now to fight dinos. I lost a polyp of the green torch over a couple of days. Although I believe the black out I did for the dinos did not help it.

I recently had an outbreak of brown jelly disease (BJD) on a wall frogspawn i purchased back in November. Long story short, i didn't know it was a wall when i bought it otherwise I wouldn't have because I know they have low success rates and don't ship well. When it arrived, it had some sever...

Hi Everyone, I'm being wiped out by brown jelly right now. I'm so sad - 3 beautiful torches, a hammer on its way out and a duncan retracting. The dumb thing is about 10 days ago I thought it would be really neat to group all my euphyllia together in one part of the tank. The kiss of death...

Hi Everyone. Is this a brown jelly? And if it is. What is my next step? Thanks!

Hi so I’m having some issues with my tank. Things were going really good then corals started to go downhill. It started with my lobo receding. I assumed this was light or flow so moved it. My chalice then started to develop brown blobs but I put this down to my regal tang nipping at it. Now my...

Hey guys, New to reefing. I have 36 gal bow front tank that has been cycled for about 6 months. Lighting is an AI prime 16. I have a mixed reef tank with frogspawn, hammers, and a few other LPS, SPS, soft corals. Everyone else is doing well and growing. Tank parameters are the following...

Hi all, After spending the winter hoarding various euphyllias from flash sales and finally putting them into my display, I noticed BJD today :loudly-crying-face: :loudly-crying-face: :loudly-crying-face: :loudly-crying-face: :loudly-crying-face: Can't lose these corals. I had an...

Is this brown jelly disease on my one Duncan coral? It wasn’t brown this morning, I came home and suddenly there was this brown stuff on it!

Hello so I just finished setting up my new 125 display about 3 months ago. Added the first 2 batch’s of fish along with the News from my old tank along with a few mushrooms and 2 Kenya trees. 2 or 3 weeks ago I went a lotta bit crazy and bought a ton of euphyllia (torches, hammers and frog...

Setup my first coral QT about a two weeks ago now. I've had my DT running for 6 months now. But I haven't had any lights on the tank, since I haven't had any corals. So I didn't realize quite how quickly nuisance algae can tank over a tank. Especially one that is fresh and clean like a freshly...

Hi all, Not sure what forum's best for this query. I acquired some macroalgae (chaeto and culpera) from a fellow reefer. They have BJD in their tank... so I've decided to quarantine the macroalgae before adding it to my DT refugium. I get it's best to use sterile macro for refugiums but...

I added this coral into my tank a week ago. It was doing great until yesterday. To be honest it might still be okay I just don't have a trained eye for these coral. This first picture is yesterday (it's alittle blurry but I'm focusing on this transparent coating on the base of the coral). Today...

Hi. I noticed BJD and depleting hammer corals. I read about Ciprofloxacin dosing. My tank has zoas and variety of tangs and fishes. Also have mushrooms sps and lps. Also i got few clams and tube worms and donuts and brain corals. As soon as i read Ciprofloxacin treatment i rushed to buy the...

Took a look at the tank tonight before I am away on a work trip and noticed some of my colonies showing some issues. Most are favia/favities. Not 100% what the orange one is, not worrying about and ID just help with a diagnosis. Haven't made any drastic changes to the tank lighting...

Flesh exposed on elegant coral, noticed it’s been bitten off. The damaged side mouth is still attached but its skeleton and flesh is 20% exposed underneath. The coral has 3 mouths in total so will it heal itself or is it the start of more deterioration???? how long will it take for the coral to...

A few days ago I got this Green Tip Branching Hammer and it is currently in a Coral/Invert QT with 6 other coral and some snails/crabs. After dipping it he opened up nicely (see photo). Yesterday afternoon (a couple of days later) I noticed a portion of his head was retracting. Upon closer...

Woke up this morning to go and check on my tank and a solid chunk of my gold torch was eaten away so I pulled it out and gave it a good look only to see brownish green substance around the flesh. Is this Brown jelly? It is on my hammers too that’s why I am thinking it is bjd but not too sure. I...

Been struggling with brown jelly taking out a few of our euphylia at work, but not all of them when theyre all in the same spot on the rack. Its working away at one of our hammers and octospawns. The hammer seems beyond saving but the octo still has healthy heads. The problem is our phosphates...

Out of the blue my torch has retracted and has a soft gelatinous substance on one end. I'm afraid it might be brown jelly disease? I haven't introduced any new corals recently but am in the process of dosing fluconazole for getting rid of Bryopsis. Also I have been dosing Cal Alk and Mg...

I know this question gets asked a lot. I’ve searched the threads. Looking for a more specific answer. what is going on with this guy? I just lost 1 hammer yesterday - I think he was stung by my mushroom - so I moved the shroom. He was living right below this guy. However this guy has looked...

HI reefers. Hope all well. Off late i had been losing my torch coral heads one after another. Despite fragging the frag head could not survive the slow decay and finally Brown jelly was Visible just before its last breath. I searched various Forum and also read how Antibiotics can...

Will the tips of torch corals regrow and create a new torch? My torch coral died from brown jelly disease and it was dropping parts of its tentacles. When I cleaned out the torch after it passed and everything I noticed a couple days later that the tips of the coral and bits and chunks that were...

Awoke this morning to a sight that I was not expecting. Over five heads had ejected polyps over night with two more head visibly showing the ever dreaded brown jelly. The colony is over 10yo and I’ve never had the courage to frag it. Today, I jumped in, hoping I wouldn’t loose the entire thing...
