I have been researching it for the last two years with my university. I cant speak much about my findings but in short any pathogenic event will be caused by an abioitic stress event that then shifts the corals microbial community to a pathogenic state. This can be as much as a small swing or warefare. Because you mentioned your torches were having warfare that is likely the root cause here. The two things i can offer going forward are 1. Increase your microbial diversity - real live rock - eliminating excess filtration such as UV sterilization - ecobalance - hydrospace probio 2. Chase stability - pH - po4 Are some of the largest factors that can cause pathogenisis

Thank you so much for your research and sharing this! This is awesome. Where are you attending for school?

I looked up that hydrospace probio stuff, pricey stuff. I'm pretty new to the hobby, is it something I need? I have a purple coralline algae booster bottle and reef roids fine powdered coral food so far. And I started my tank with frintzyme turbo start.

I just had a battle with brown jelly disease its the only thing that has set me back in this hobby, it was sad cause it was like nothing caused it. Lost about 7 pieces.

Supposedly sponges help keep the microbiome more their usual proportions in population, even during atypical water condition changes. From what I’ve read, most of the problem isn’t a particular problematic pathogenic organism- it’s often an eschew population proportions of pre-existing bacteria; sponges maintain this populations proportions as part of their DDAM (Dom, disease, algae, microorganism) cycle. Kinda useless info as sponges aren’t always easily kept, but plumbing in a sponge near the refuge um with some PVC, avoiding the light and making sure it can never lose its water level during a failure, could possibly see results. Some people keep samples of their healthy, happy water changes to try and reintroduce previously known healthy bacteria populations.

My goniopora frag in my new tank has just been melting from this stuff. Ive been blasting with a pipette removing what I can. Big sad!! Im hoping my other frags will be okay so far so good. Edit: what do you dip with? I tried a hydrogennperoxide for the goni and it looked good for a day snd dropped some more polyps today ):

Thanks for the video, sorry this happened. How exactly did you go about siphoning the jelly out? Seems difficult
@BrockLeonard7 ай бұрын
I’ll try to explain this the best way I can over text haha. So you have your siphon and your tube. I remove the siphon so that the tube has a strong suction. Cover the tube with my thumb and then about half my thumb covers the tube and it sucks that brown jelly right off. I have hair algae video where I show that up close. Maybe that’ll help better than my explanation does 😂

Okay, that makes sense! I can see where that is probably the best way to deal with it@@BrockLeonard

I wonder if it's not also cause by excessive flow...
