Brain problem

[rcrob]

My Blue Brain Coral has something growing on it. It looks like it is a very thick gelatin substance and it is growing quickly. Does anyone have any idea what this is and what should I do if anything?

Maybe an iodine dip is in the future.

IF its brown jelly take it out of your tank in a seperate container and try and scrap the stuff off as much as possible. You can then put it back in the tank. Dips will help to cure it but i think you have to scrap it before you dip it or it won't get down in it.

What about a tooth brush after scrapping?

Kent sells a great coral dip that will kill most fungus's that grow on corals. Yes it is digesting this brain from the inside out and I would definatley isolate it from my main tank if it was me. If it gets water bourne it could be devistating.

Ya definitely NOT in the tank. You could try a toothbrush but just be careful not to damage the heathly tissue while indiscriminately brushing....
