Is that brown jelly ?

Is that brown jelly on my hollygrail frag ? How to treat it or should i put it to the garbage ?

 

[bluemon]

It is.

And an advanced one at that.

If you have an antibacterial or anti infection dip around, try that, but it might be too far gone

 

[Etienne 97]

I only have coral rx on hand

Yes, and it is to far gone. I would remove it so it doesn’t spread and treat the tank with cipro as a precaution. Keep some on hand so if it happens again, treating with cipro early will save the coral.

Ok thanks i will try to put the hand on some cypro in canada

This is my first torch How can i detect the first signs ? That torch was on my frag rack up high an i have notice some small polyp more "white" pale and the flow was not random so i have decide to put it close to the sand bed it was doing beter now am at work until next week. Yesterday on face time with my girl freind everything was ok or was looking ok the other torch the second one is doing fine with around 1/2 fleshbans i have that frag since 1 month a blue tip all my hammer and frogspawn are doing great

These test are 2 week apart i do a 20% water change every 2 week
Mg around 1400
Ca around 450
Ph at night at 8.03 and day 8.47 on my apex

I know my phos are high as i don't have had any probleme before

The parameters look fine, but I would have started the frag down on the bottom with low flow and have it acclimate up to higher light

First it will start looking unhappy and then the jelly starts showing up and that’s when you have to act fast with Cipro. It has a distinct disgusting smell, you’ll know it when you smell it.

Also, I would not blame your husbandry too much.

Torches are so much more prone to BJD than other Fimbriaphyllia like Hammers or Frogspawns. Sometimes it just happens.

One reason it's the one coral I actively avoid...

I would use a turkey baster to remove most of the gunk very carefully before trying to move that frag. This stuff spreads very quickly in aquaria.

I would also start running UV continuously and dose a little bit of hydrogen peroxide a few times a day

 

[Etienne 97]

How much of hydrogen peroxide should i use my tank is a 25gallon waterbox ?

 

[theunderwaterarchives]

Please be careful not to get the gunk everywhere when removing the coral!

I have been able to put the hand on this med should i treat my tank since i don't have any other sings of brown jelly if yes what dose should i use ?

saw that. Address the phos.
Some ways are adding ChemiPure blue to sump, or daily water changes of 2-3 gallons per day for 2 weeks
Reduce amount fed slightly and avoid tap water if used

Great thanks you
