Confirming Brown Jelly

[New&no clue]

Just wanted to confirm brown jelly on my hammer before I pulled it.

yes :(careful when taking out not to let it get blown around

Bummer! Definitely pull it before any of the brown jelly spreads to your other pretty Euphillias! :(

Sadly it looks like a goner.

You may want to dip the other LPS in a 1:10 peroxide solution.

Peroxide isn't hard on lps and this wouldn't be a bad idea. Watch them and if they get infected I would dip it in a 50/50 peroxide water solution for about a minute. The sooner the more likely it will survive. BJ kills quick so time is coral! I hate BJ, I see a correlation between BJ and carbon dosing and if my corals start to get infected I stop dosing immediately

Brown jelly, take out asap

I would not do anything to stress the other corals unless they exhibit bjd. I had a torch die from bjd, in a similar array, surrounded by other euphoria. The others survived without treatment.
Whatever causes bjd is opportunistic. A stressed coral is more susceptible.
It is a tough call.
Certainly, carefully remove the infected coral.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. The BTA next door got a little too friendly with my blue hammer, which is very sad as it was one of my favorites. I’m going to watch the others and see how they do.

Thanks for the article it has some interesting ideas for going forward. Unfortunately I lost all my euphyllias except one, which is still hanging in.
