    I'm not a newb but have never experienced the "brown jelly", what is it and can you save a coral once it gets it and if so how?

    Thank you

    Thank you im trying,and yes I never want to deal with this again.

    From what I understand its a bacterial infection thats on steroids and anything the jelly/slime touches it will kill in a matter of min to hours.. I literally watched the flesh melt off a monti colony and my elegance in jest hours...I wasnt able to save mine but I read others who fragged the good parts then dipped in iodine and or antibiotics over a few days.

    Well there is a bright side, once I got past getting rid of corals that were my favorite and have had for a while It seems I have it under control, If nothing shows in the next week I feel I may be in the clear..I cant believe how fast and aggressive this stuff is.I never want to deal with this again..
