    I would cut the zoas off and throw it away. Then move on knowing that if it is bad it cannot spread.

    IMO, it's either a bacterial infection or could be cyno. Brown jelly disease is basically a bacterial infection so it could be that, although it tends to affect lps more. I would try to clean it off with a tooth brush or try blowing it off. If it just comes back, then I would frag off the affected area.

    Its not brown jelly disease. That only effects LPS.
