Hi
Attached is a pic of my gonipora frag. Is this Brown Jelly Disease? Or is it a sting front the other gonipora nearby?

I dip all my corals before placing them in the tank. I have some Revive & Coral Rx on hand. Should I remove it & treat coral? How do I do this & not make the infection (if that is what it is) spread to my other healthy corals?

Thanks!

Looks suspiciously like brown jelly...
Yeesh... I have never had that issue before. I dip all my corals before placing them in my tank. Should I just remove the whole frag & toss it? I have some nice colonies.. I don’t want it to spread.

And.. fwiw, Brown jelly is bacterial.. Dipping would have very little to no affect. Not your fault, just bad luck.

Honestly, a relatively inexpensive goni isn't worth it spreading.. I'd toss it.
Okay I will try to cover it with a ziploc bag before I remove it to try & trap any thing it might release removing it. Thanks for helping!
