Brown jelly infection - Reef-Geeks

estanoche · I <3 the LEFT COAST!

So, my duncan has been getting stung by a nearby acan for a quite a while now, but it looks like a jelly infection has taken over...

So, to get rid of the jelly I'm going to try dipping it in Revive - hopefully this will stop the head death - if not, then I'll move on to a healing iodine dip

After dip - looks like I coulda blown a bit more of the infection off - we will see how it does

Hope it turns out! What's up with your corals giving you such a hard time lately?? They need to give you a break! :P

I know!! - my tank is very mad at me lately - I think its cycling pretty hard after I killed all my fish

Should get back to normal soon tho once I add my harem of wrasses and start feeding again ......

From the pic, that doesn't really look like brown jelly. It does however look like a coral thats been stung.

Did you happen to notice if it had a wretched nasty stench when you took it out of the water?? BJ will stink, but simply stung will not.

Oh and BJ is almost a for sure demise, at least to the polyps it's infected, but a simple sting will heal over.

Personally I would have dipped in in iodine first, revive is pretty strong. But He should come back for you. Keep us posted, I'm curious.

i never think the iodine dips do enough

hahaha always find myself having to opt for something strong

it is looking better - the infection is pretty much gone, and the polyps are starting to come back

Even the half infected/rotted ones look OK

The infection is 100% due to stinging - gotta love the sweeper tentacles off that little acan frag right below it

I'll have to place it somewhere else once it gets better
