Brown jelly outbreak, any tips?

[ManWithAPlan]

Hey everyone!
I'm currently experiencing a bad brown jelly outbreak in my tank that's devastating coral I've had over an year :(
All coral are okay except euphilia...

Water parameters are
Nitrate- 5 Ppm
Phosphate 0.08 ppm
Calcium 420 ppm
Magnesium 1300 ppm
Alk 9.2 dkh.
Salinity 33.5 ppm

It just started one day..... one hammer coral branch stopped opening and from there it spread to other coral all of which started falling apart yesterday.

I've tried treating with hydrogen peroxide and fauna marine cili dip. But there was no effect.

I have a few euphilia left that are closed but not brown jelly yet.... is there anything I can do to save them or are they doomed?

I have

I wish you luck. I have been unsuccessful in finding a solution for BJD. Euphyllia seems to be more susceptible to BJD but I've had it attack other species too. My experience has been that the entire colony will quickly die but that other colonies located at a distance often survive.

I hope someone will respond with a solution for you.

brown jelly is something like a 'stress disease' for corals IMO. These pics are pretty blue but I can still see a lot of algae, algae is an irritant to corals and works against corals, it tells me the tank is out of balance and the corals are stressed.

Well over a month ago my Nitrate was at 20-30 pmm.
I started dosing red sea nopox which took them down to 5 and all was well for a few weeks...

Could that have been what stressed the coral out?
Is there anything I can do for them now?
How long until I can have euphilia in the tank again?

Brown Jelly Disease is a bacterial infection. Buy ciprofloxacin and start a treatment if it happens again.

Experimenting with in-tank antibiotic treatments for Brown Jelly Disease

Brown Jelly Disease (BJD) is an issue many reefers have run into. Like most coral diseases, the pathogen causing BJD has not been conclusively determined. Here I will share some observations and test results supporting the idea that its caused by a bacterial pathogen, and so may be treatable...

This!
Get cipro and do in tank treatment. I tried removing my corals to a tote and treat there as I was afraid to treat the entire tank bad idea the bacteria is still there and as soon as something happens your corals start dying again. I just went through one of these events power outage and right after I started loosing heads of a previously healthy hammer colony. I did an aggressive cipro treatment on the tank ended on Saturday, 10 days treating 6ml daily for 7 days then left it until saturday and turned the skimmer back on and did a 30% water change. Treat after lights out turn off skimmer. My euphyllia all look super happy better than they did before the power outage. Bjd is acrobacter I believe and it can infect other corals as well like sps and zoas less devastating in these versus euphyllia but still an issue.

Thank you very much for the tip.
I'm not sure i have access to cipro in my country but I'll look for it!
Any other antibiotics I could use?
We have nifurpirinol over here, could that work?

Thank you alot for your time everyone really appreciated

Well.....I can't get my hands on cipro.
So I'm trying what I have, Nifurpirinol.

60 hours after the first full dose, my goni looks stressed and bubble that looked very stressed looks better. Acan looks better too.

However the BJD spread to my final 2 hammer, both of which are walling so it's game over for these colonies.

I will try to redose antibiotics and run a full 2 week treatment before a massive water change before trying to introduce LPS to the tank again.
