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.
 
Honestly, a relatively inexpensive goni isn't worth it spreading.. I'd toss it.
 
And.. fwiw, Brown jelly is bacterial.. Dipping would have very little to no affect. Not your fault, just bad luck.

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!
