This can't be brown jelly:(((

[eliramos]

Can someone help
I've seen brown jelly before and this does not look like it!
There have been no changes to the tank in months.
It looks more like a fluffy film then bjd?
Help please!

I looked at this but can't get a clear idea from the spectrum used.
It highly can be a bacterial infection

 

[eliramos]

I sucked some off
And his is what it looks like now

I'm worried
Should I remove and dip all my lps??

 

[twilliard]

I would cut that off as soon as you can.
I just lost a 5 head branch to toxins of dinoflagellates and caused a bacterial outbreak looking identical to what I see.
Just cut it off trying not to disturb the lost heads so the bacteria does not become waterborne

 

[eliramos]

Well
The genius that I am
Just sucked some off so some did get into the water.
What should I do?
Do I take all the lps out or just the messed up head and keep an eye on the rest?

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

I agree. Cut before it spreads. I Damaged (either bumped when moving and cleaning or stunner chalice stung it) a head of my hammer and lost one of two heads. Moves quick so sooner the better.

Going to buy some dip now
And a fragging tool
This is so upsetting
I'm cycling a 90 gallon now
I was hoping to just transfer everything is few weeks...
Typical -.-

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Could do a small water change just to be safe, but a small amount should't be a major issue (mine wasn't and didn't spread). Just cut the bad heads out and keep an eye on the rest. My .02.

 

[twilliard]

The bacteria would have to find a host but yes keeping an eye out is best.

 

[eliramos]

Okay snapping that guy off as soon as I get home
Should I toss it or try to save it?
Thank you guys so much for your quick responses

If you have a qt tank with low flow and low light and want to dip then give a chance may work, but ive personally had no luck when they start to look this way.

Agreed!
The trick is finding the right antibacterial for the bacteria present ;)

He's off! I put him in a Tupperware and added some rx but when I started to blow some of the gunk off it fell apart
He was too far gone:(
Hopefully I caught it in time for the rest of the tank[emoji1374]

Thank you all very much!

Something similar happened to me a few months back all of my euphyllia started receding. I pulled them out dipped in coral rx. One torch and one hammer fell apart and another frogspawn never recovered. I was able to save 1 hammer 1 frogspawn and 1 torch. Losing 50% of my euphyllia was not fun! Good luck, if it were me I'd dip everything separately just to be safe.
