Anyone successfully treated Brown Jelly disease?

[LuizW13]

The first and only Euphyllia (gold frogspawn) came down with Brown Jelly. It has been spewing out this brown algae type of thing for a couple of months - I didn't know what it was until a week or so ago.

Monday night I did a dip of Lugols and spot dropped a direct bit of the solution on the infected area. The frogspawn was 'melting' in the DT for about half an hour. It eventually started to look really good. It looked better than ever on Wednesday, but today, it looks like it's starting to spew out more of that jelly, and overall doesn't look so good.

I would hate to lose this frogspawn- it's such a nice specimen, it's not the generic green/purple, ya know?

I sadly lost my entire acan collection to them, I tried dipping, fragging off the infected parts and putting the infected corals in QT and it still ravaged my tank

Sorry to hear that. I think my only choice would be to frag off the two dying heads and try to save the third one. I don't have a spare light fixture or powerhead to set up a QT for corals.

Does the disease spread by contact? I really like the micromussas that i have- they're starting to take off on growth spurt.

If its brown jelly, it can spread to other Euphyllia in the aquarium. You can try a 50/50 dip of aquarium water to hydrogen peroxide for a 5 minute bath. May take a couple baths if the coral is not too far gone.

It's the only Euphyllia that I have. I took it to the lfs for them to frag off the infected heads for me. I dipped it in lugols when I got home. It's looking well right now in a low light, low flow area of the tank. I hope it pulls through, I don't know anywhere else that has one of these frogspawns.
