I purchased a gold torch coral from my lfs and made the mistake of not dipping. I've purchased 80% of my coral from them with no problems but then again I usually dip. Anyways today I noticed brown jelly at the base on the skeleton of the torch and it wasn't fully opening . I immediately took it out and used a soft tooth brush and removed all the jelly best I could then dipped in seachem reef dip. I'll keep a close eye on it for the next few days. Does anyone know of a sure way of removing this for good. None of my other corals seem to be infected. Just the torch and it's my favorite piece, it's gold with purple tips !! I don't want to lose it. I just put him back into the tank and he's closed up. Sorry I didn't get a picture I went into full panic mode! He was $60!!!

Seachem Reef Dip description on MarineDepot states the dip is Iodine based, and that is what is recommended for BJD.
If the piece develops the brown jelly like mass again post an image, if it is indeed BJD and still present after one treatment I would pull the infected coral if I had other prized LPS.
