    I have BJD on 1 of the 2 heads of my frogspawn. I already tried giving the coral medium flow, siphoning off the brown jelly, and dipping the coral. None haas worked. The other head is looking good though. Should I cut the head that has BJD off or can the disease not spread to the other head?
    Thanks

    I'm not sure if it can spread, but what kind of dip did you do?? FW or iodine?

    I would try an iodine dip if you have not already.

    Do you have any picts?

    Done, but somehow the extemely sharp scisors I was using cut half of the skeleton off on the dottom base area. Is this ok?

    I think you should be fine. Unless you clipped the central spine then its gonna go t reef heaven.

    Where is the central spine? Does it go vertically, or horizontally across the coral? It got cut through vertically and it looks kind of bad. Could I cut the bottom of the 'stem' off so it is just like a little stump?
    Thanks, ReefBruh

    Brown jelly can spread.

    The bones in the sand don't matter. As long as you did not cut the flesh it will heal up just fine.
