Brown jelly disease....Help!!!

[eveningstar15]

I received a torch coral in the mail on 10/23/13. This morning when I looked at it, the one side was covered in brown slime. I took it out of my tank and rinsed off the brown slime in saltwater and gave it an iodine dip. Now I have it in a container and it is floating in my tank. Do you think the other head will make it? Do I have to remove the dead skeleton? How would I remove the dead skeleton? I have never fragged anything, so this is all new to me.

If you have a turkey baster blow off as much as possible and keep doing so, mod flow helps to. Sound like your doing all you can, that is exactly how I would have proceeded. Good luck, don't feel too bad it's fairly common to Euphyllias. Removing the dead skeleton as this point would just stress all the more in my opinon. Hopefully you caught it in time.

+1 you have pretty much done what you can do, the only thing I can add is be sure the brown jelly doesn't get on any other coral in the tank and spread.

dont frag it that will stress it more. put it in a high flow area . if it survives you can frag later
