Good to know, so it isn’t usually on the flesh on the stem?Can’t see it on my phone, but usually bjd manifests with polyps not opening fully and continues with BJ smothering the head/ skeleton. If you think you have a problem having Cipro on hand for treatment.
Here is another pic with the lights on. It’s strange because it looks like the flesh is more ripped than degrading?I've had it where the first symptom was a gradual thinning of the flesh around the stem. I've also had it where the slime showed first and then the rest progressed.
When in doubt, Chemiclean.
Not BJD but recession and likely due to location with low light and flow. These guys do best at higher tank level where it receives required light and water flow. Gradually elevate it daily and assure calcium is not less than 380 and Nitrate and phos Not elevated as well as salinity
Thank you for your comment. It gave me an ah ha moment — so it isn’t it’s location or it’s general flow (it’s been in this location and growing multiplied heads, etc for over a year); however, on Saturday I put my pumps up to 100% for 2 minutes while dosing calcium carbonate and spraying the sandbed. I imagine that was too intense and probably ripped the flesh. Hopefully it can make a full recovery.Not BJD but recession and likely due to location with low light and flow.

Good chance yes as flow has an impact on these coral.Thank you for your comment.
