It's hard to really tell, I looked it up on yahoo search that way and came across a good article about it. Dave had some ideas on how to treat it if you read dieing hammer a few articles down from this post. If it is brown and jelly like then I would say that is what it is. Dave called it brown jelly infection I think. You need to get the stuff off the heads and dip the coral. If it is infecting all heads then you can't separate them if not your best survival may be to split it up. The pic looks a little on the green side. If this is just resolution then don't worry if not then it may just be algae and you can combat it with a turkey baster. Remove the coral out of the tank and into a bucket. Get a trukey baster and blast it with clean water. I find that my snails can't clean it real well because of it's sting. This may also clean anything else that is attaching it. If you can get a hold of Dave. He seems to have knowledge on the subject I've only read about it never treated for it.

I've never connected a thread so if this doesn't work don't shoot me. This is what I read. I found it informative but it doesn't go over treatment. It does show a picture however and it is on a frogspawn.

That is the green from the only living part of the spawn left. I did the blasting and I almost have nothing left in the skeleton. I am just sick

gosh, I'm sorry to hear this. I love mine and don't want anything to happen. I want to rush over there and help you so bad. If there is any part of it left there is still hope though. Don't give up just yet.

Yeah, my link was only info. I hadn't got that far into it when I read your post and I didn't want to leave you hanging. Since it sounded like what I was reading up on I wanted to get you onto it as soon as possible.

After reading that article,I've found the information in it to be anecdotal and some i flat out disagree with.Know wonder there was no author or references listed at the bottom of it.Originally Posted by butterfly_babe4200

edit-I found the author Albert J.THiel 1997,Now i see why alot of that info isn't accurate,its out
