shut off the power heads, take it out of the tank asap!! then put it a container and suck out as much of the jelly as you can. you can try and dip it in lugols but the head might no survive. to make sure it doesn't spread you will have to probably cut the infected head to save the colony. I lost a whole colony of pink torch. don't wait do it now....

There's still a ton of debate in the scientific community as to what "brown jelly disease" is...or if it is anything at all. Corals with "brown jelly disease" have been found with all sorts of infections, protozoans, etc. It may just be a way of how some corals die under certain conditions (infection, disease, injury, etc.)

Here's a link to how I treated a "candy cane" coral with "brown jelly".
