Brown jelly disease?

Kevin Haynes · 08/04/2017, 06:00 PM

I have a frog spawn that was stung pretty bad by a torch but I think it is recovering, but I noticed this black,brown,red stuff forming on the edges of the coral and I don't know what it is. I think it could be just red slime algae because it came right off with a toothbrush but someone else said it was brown jelly disease. So now I'm confused and scared of what it is as of now none of my other LPS have showed it but I recently just quarantined the frogspawn. Any ideas of what it is?

I would remove the coral, swish it around in water to remove the slime/jelly, and dip it in iodine or revive or coral Rx ASAP.

In your opinion does it look like brown jelly disease?

Tough to tell from the picture but that's a weird spot for cyano to show up... better safe then sorry and it's easy to remove/dip the frag.

Can it be dragged sense it only has like one branch and head?
