Brown jelly disease ??

Jason mack · May 31, 2017

Got this BTA last Wednesday , guy in the lFS seemed a bit rough with it taking it of a stone ,it's not been doing so well , I'm not sure if this has anything too do with my raised salinity problem or with his rough handling .!
I'm afraid too ask , but is this brown jelly on my BTA ?
Should I pull it out and dispose with it ?

BJD no.

I'd like a clearer pic if you can. You will probably want to give it a medicated or cleaning dip.

I'm no nem whisperer.

Yea, that's dying nem juice.

Let's get more eyes on it. I honestly don't know how well it may recover.

Looks like the guy destroyed it . Never buy a nem that was tore off a rock buy the whole rock or pass.

Yes I'm learning that slowly Jason .. I have a lot of patience normally , and I know I'm gonna loose some corals at sometime or other, fish also , I have too accept it .. don't like it .. none of us do I know .. on a positive note .. I'm happy with my new lights and that spurs me on .. I've waited 6 months too get them .. now I can use all my tank

Looks like he tore the foot, and the nem reacted bad to the situation.

I have actually lost 2 nems in my tank. I would run a bunch of carbon just in case. I never lost anything due to a nem dying.

Let's see if we can get @bairdimusprime will chime in.

It seems to have released it self from the rock

That's actually good.
I can't find my fav nem site. Arrg.
I theory you should be able to give it a light iodine dip to cut the infection and clean it.

I recall some nem guys reccomending mela fix but can't find confirmation.

Here's a bit of why I did find http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2271385

If you have a good nem basket or critter keeper I'd use it.

I honestly don't know the danger of having it pass in the tank. I lost one to a powerhead and I belive everything but the nem survived. That was a 30g long ago.

I've had to leave for work ... I will check when I get home tonight.. thanks Jason !

That's a bad tear. never should have been sold to you. the best thing you can do right now is nothing. just keep your eyes on it. you'll know when it starts to die because it will fall apart. I would not recommend iodine, cipro, or any other medications as those haven't been proven to work, and they can just cause further agitation. keep it out of heavy flow and make sure critters/fish don't disturb it. it can come back!

Thanks for the advice #cromag08 , it has moved its self out of the flow and is now hiding under a rock all shriveled up .. it doesn't look good !
