Frogspawn losing tissue

[pickupman66]

AAAGGGHHH!!!! the beautiful frogspawn we got for my birthday is showing a little brown jelly on one of the heads. the tissue has receded up the skeleton all the way to the polyp! this is on one of the stalks with two adjoining heads! the other two heads are extending good but also show some tissue recession! :cry:

salinity is 1.025 (a little low), Zero testable nitrates, phosphates, PH 8.16, 8KH, temp is 80.8-79.6 per the controller. not testing any current on the multimeter.

it is not blasted by current but a nice random flow. it is a Wild caught colony so I can understand if it is not extending all the polyps.

Any ideas????? aaggghh!!! this was an expensive piece that was doing extremely well the whole time. not seeing anyone pick on it either... I did take it out and dip it in some oral rx pro...gently blew off all the brown tissue...

Isn't there a disease called "brown jelly" disease? Have no idea what it is or what causes is though.

Sorry to hear about your problem although it's pretty common among wild caught specimens. That's the main reason I only buy aqua cultured coral.

Any update? What color frog spawn was it? I have some green with purple tip...
