What Causes Brown Jelly Disease? How to Prevent?

[kyley]

Do we know much about what causes this and ways to prevent it? I mean, I know it's a bacterial infection, but I suspect it's in our tanks and the right conditions may arise that cause it to take over and kill a corals. I just lost a couple heads of frogspawn, yet they'd been in my tank for half a year. I think it's been a good month or so since I'd added anything to the tank (very long time since any euphyllia). So, anyone know of research on how it takes over? Or educated guesses?

Also asking this for @Currdawg12 and @Ponyo who both mentioned having it in another thread. Cheers,

I can tell you physical damage is a big one, and overall just from stress
