Brown Jelly Question

[Alexander]

I have an encrusting gorgonia coral that is on a rather large sized rock. I just moved it to a different spot a couple weeks ago and it seemed to love it. there is a k4 pointed directly at it but about 8 inches away so it does not get blasted with flow, but it does get flow. Now about 4 of the 12 inches of this strip of coral has brown jelly on it and im wondering what is the best thing to do to try to save this thing?

Take a good sharp pair of dikes(bone cutters) and cut the infected part off,at least 1/2" into the good flesh.
Thats about I know you can do for it.

I never heard of brown jelly on gorgonians.You'll have to do what Yote said if you can't dip it.

Hmm brown jelly disease is supposed to be exclusive to LPS... I'd bet on it being something else.

hmm i guess it could be something else, but its brown and its covering the surface, kinda like a filmy brown deal and it killed part of it a while back

But does it look like brown jello?

yeah, just not extremely thick like i could spoon it off of the coral, its a thin coat. almost like if you were to spread cyano thin over someting escept its brown not red
