I don’t know if this is brown jelly because it doesn’t really look like it but if it is then is there a treatment that will save it? the pictures are really bad but it shows what it looks like

An iodine dip or cutting off heads that are losing skin are about your only options at this point, and neither one of those is guaranteed to work. They help though.

Does it look like Brown jelly to you though?

I'm not sure, but the treatment would be the same, regardless.

Act fast. I lost over 100 heads euphyllia in about a months time cause i didn't react..... now they're worth 4xs I paid. Grrrr

 

[andrew7b]

I’m doing a treatment right now for it. I talked to Andre mueller about what to do.

What antibiotics are you using?

If they lose tissue can it still survive?
Got this octo for free. Iodine dipped it but it lost some tissue today. Is it a goner?

I don't know. That was how mine was kind of. Or maybe you had a water par swing?

Here's my treatment for BJ

Experimenting with in-tank antibiotic treatments for Brown Jelly Disease

Brown Jelly Disease (BJD) is an issue many reefers have run into. Like most coral diseases, the pathogen causing BJD has not been conclusively determined. Here I will share some observations and test results supporting the idea that its caused by a bacterial pathogen, and so may be treatable...

If u decide on ciproflaxin its pretty common... I have just about every medication from breeding...

That product is anecdotal at best with a large amount of confirmation bias behind it. Andre started that whole thing during a large national debate that happened a couple of years ago and the evidence behind this product as a treatment is correlational at best. Vibrio spirillum is the culprit, which is a bacteria. The research was done for sps but zooxanthella are zooxanthella. Antibiotics are the way to go but we don't have access to them, which is probably a good thing. I'll link the research below, but if you can't get antibiotics, then antiseptics like Iodine are your best shot.

Experimental antibiotic treatment identifies potential pathogens of white band disease in the endangered Caribbean coral Acropora cervicornis

Coral diseases have been increasingly reported over the past few decades and are a major contributor to coral decline worldwide. The Caribbean, in particular, has been noted as a hotspot for coral disease, and the aptly named white syndromes have caused ...

Chemiclean to get rid of brown jelly. When my mushrooms got brown jelly I dipped with chemiclean, followed by iodine dip.

Ok thank you. I will try that if this doesn’t work

 

[TriggerFan]

+1 What Mittens said. Bath in Chemiclean and Iodine or API Melafix and low to no flow.

What was the ratio did you do with the chemiclean and iodine? I might try it tonight or tomorrow morning

1 big scoop to a cup is good. Be generous. mix it well before u put the coral in. Use a turkey Baster to gently blow the brown jelly, slime, and dead tissue away. Normally I do just cc for the shroom if it is melting /has brown jelly. If the coral hasn’t improved or at least stabilized, follow up with iodine dip the next Day. If there’s brown jelly again, repeat cc dip. I do 30 min. If you have brown jelly u need to do it right now. Like get off your phone and do it now
