Brown jelly disease?

My ricordea seems to have developed brown jelly disease. I'm not familiar with this disease and I'm totally guessing, but it's a jelly looking substance that's brown. Ha! See why I came up with that conclusion?

Late last night it looked a little like cyano (though brown), well today it looks like a brown bubble tip anemone completely covering the ric. lol

Anyways, if it's brown jelly disease how contagious is it? And what should I do?

Thanks!!

 

Pull the ric immediately. It will not recover and yes it could spread. Also if you are not running carbon do so immediately. Rics emit a toxin when they are dying and it can cause other rics to die also and problems for other corals.

 

Okay, I will take him out. This sucks! I loved that ric. It was so healthy. What causes this disease??

 

Turn off your cir pumps and remove slowly. It can spread from water movement. If some brown jelly comes off and lands on another it will kill it also.

 

Okay, I have to wait until someone gets here to help me. I can't reach it, even when standing on a chair. :

I'll go turn down the MP though.

 

I know it is bacterial but that is all I know. Sorry about losing a loved coral. I found out about this after researching why mine were fading.

 

Something damaged it. The white crab i asked about was after my taro tree. He clipped on one and it got Brown jelly. It spread to a second, I cut them at base and removed all except the smallest nub. They are coming back.

 

That so sucks

 

Banished a Randy Newman song from my mind after reading this.

 

I wonder how it got damaged. Ugh annoying.

Ok well thanks for the help! I'll get it out as soon as I can. Darn it.
