Goniopora with brown jelly disease?

[sc8kv123]

Hey everyone,

I've had this in my tank for 3 weeks now. The first 2.5 weeks it was doing great but recently has not been extending. I came home from work and there is a brownish/bubbly like slime building up. Parameters are in check and everything else is doing great.

Does anyone have advice or any experience with dealing with this?

Turn off all flow. Siphone off the brown jelly/dead tissue. Dip coral using Lugols iodine based dip.

Should I be concerned about my other lps corals? They aren't showing any signs of disease or stress.. yet. I've read this is very difficult to eradicate and can spread pretty easily.

Brown jelly is an like an opportunistic virus. If your coral is stressed for a few days it will invade. Like ich for fish. If your other corals are not stressed. They seems to be able to keep brown jelly away.

I would do as above posted for cleaning and dipping. I have had success with goni curing of brown jelly. There are two things i would also add to the above. Do not keep gonipora directly on sand bed. The sand irritates and cuts the flesh. Stressing and opening door for infection. Do not put goni back in same area that brown jelly was spotted. I always found when i put them in same spot. it was as if jelly was living unseen in rocks or sand in that area.

Hydrogen peroxode is another option. Watch from the 14min mark where he discusses h2o2 and uses.
