Could be - move the frag away from other euphyllias - and if it not looks natural tomorrow – take it away

Super hard to tell since the hammer is sorta like that color of brown

 

[Brian barranco]

Does it have a odor ? Like the disease?

 

[Lasse]

Odor - I do not know. But - in order to be safer - move it away - not near the other frags. wait and see whats happen when light is on.

I'll say no. Looks like its receding. BJD us usually puffy and covering tissue and skeleton. Pull it out of the water and smell it. If it smells rotten is BJD if just has the saltwater smell of your tank it's just receding.

AND LIKE THE OTHERS HAVE SAID ID DEFINITELY MOVE IT AWAY FROM OTHER CORALS AS A PRECAUTION

-how long have you had the coral?

-did it sustain any other damage that would cause it to recede?

-did you recently add anything new to the tank?

 

[Brian barranco]

Lights been on since 8:30 and coral still receding super bad. Started Saturday morning. One of my snails was on top of it . Trying to clean algae. Maybe cause damage

Update !

 

[Brian barranco]

Doesn’t have any smell. Should I dip with iodine?

 

[Brian barranco]

Looking super bad

The coral looks like it is starting to get brown jelly now. I have seen corals like this bounce back but once the brown jelly appears only 1/10,000 ever survive. The threat to your living coral in the tank, which appear healthy now is serious. Remove this coral from the tank, put it in a QT or give it to someone who doesn't have any LPS in their tank, or bury it in the back yard but get it out of the tank for the sake of the other corals you have. BJD often spreads to healthy corals in the same tank and then you will have more death to deal with. Sorry, HTH.

Any opinions?

Now should I run carbon ? What to do now . U think it spread? Should I dip my other corals near it

 

[Brian barranco]

What’s the best solution. Been dying since Saturday

 

[Lasse]

Just relax - take away the bad coral and if you see any real signs (do not panic) of the others - just take them out in bucket or so - just observe. Do not stress the corals.
