My torch was showing stress last night, so I did an iodine dip this morning. I noticed some brown gunk around the tissue and brushed/knocked off as much as I could. I am also experiencing a little bit of cyano. I am worried this is brown jelly disease, and don't want it to spread to my other euphyllias. I have ordered some cirpo but it won't be here for a few days at least. Is it a goner? Should I pull it in fear for the others?
Is this BJD?

That looks like BJD to me. I personally would not put that back in the tank. Just dealt with BJD a few months ago. It does spread fast so as soon as you notice brown on a retracred Euphyllia, pull it out. If its on a large colony you cam cut the affected heads off and save the rest of the colonyMy torch was showing stress last night, so I did an iodine dip this morning.

Thanks. I pulled it and put it in a beaker with a heater to observe, but it looks like a goner. I am kicking myself for putting it back in after the dip. I have a nice 4 headed torch colony I don't want to lose. They weren't too close to one another. Should I still dose the tank with the cipro when it comes in as a precaution?
As long as none of the "brown jelly" broke apart and got on the other torch you should be okay but monitor closely for the next week. I have never used Cipro so I cant help with the effectiveness of that
