Ello,

Someone give us a hand, I'm pretty sure my favia has brown jelly disease but im not sure so thought I'd come on here for confirmation. Should i just remove it and count my losses or try andsave it with my various dips. Sorry about the photo.

I have only dealt with it one time and didn't know much at the time. You can try and remove it and dip it in some iodine based coral dip to help it.

I’ve beaten BJD a few times now by doing a iodine dip, gently scrub off dead brown jelly infected tissue, dip in CoralRX, followed by covering the exposed skeleton with superglue gel right up to the healthy tissue.

The superglue step Is key.
