Hello all,
So I went and looked at my frag tank today and my lobo got too close to my torches and I beleive injured them resulting in brown jelly.
I figured I would document it and see if this can help anyone else who comes into contact with this nasty disease.
So brown jelly has a number of causes, the approach I did was pulled the infected colony out and cut the severely affected polyps off and threw them out. Then I dipped the colony in coral revive. Brown jelly is basically RTN for lps. It can spread too other colonies fast. So I checked all other colonies for any tissue recession or brown jelly.
This is the effected colony.
Will update in a little with my findings. Happy feeding everyone!

Glad you caught it. Hoping the best for recovery!
 
Yes, colony is recovering great. Infected heads where cut off and thrown away, the remaining heads where in quarentine for about a month and I just re added them back to the frag tank.
 
So it looks like any euphyllia that’s near this one torch colony, seems to get brown jelly. It does look like the torch is stinging the other euphyllia. I’ve never had an issue keeping all euphyllias together until this torch. Anyone else have this issue ever?
