![]() I would not cut it. Gonioporas have a skeleton where the polyps can retract quite deep and you would probably kill it.
As for the dip, freshwater will probably kill it as well. Best thing to do is try with a mix of 50% tank water and 50% hydrogen peroxyde 3%. Take it out of the water then just put a bit of it on the affected area and try not to touch the healthy parts. This will fizz and bubble and leave it for a minute or 2 and put it back in the tank. That should kill the brown jelly. It's the safest thing that will kill the brown jelly for sure and then you put it back in the tank and this is 100% safe for the tank as peroxyde dissolve into water and oxygen. |

![]() why would fresh water kill it?
have a read about hydrogen peroxide in the aquarium before you use it http://theaquariumwiki.com/Hydrogen_peroxide and here http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1704746 ......if your gonna dip it with anything "household", dip it in diluted iodine(a few coral dips are Iodine based)......not sure on how much to dilute it though.....

![]() Because freshwater is harsh on many coral and will NOT kill the bacterias attacking it. It's like curing the disease by killing the patient.
for the H2O2, I would not dip it totaly but only drip some mix of peroxyde and tank water on the affected area to desinfect it and make sure that the healthy part does not receive any treatment. I did this with a duncan that had brown jelly and it killed the brown jelly right away and it healed fast and now you can't even see where it was. For the goniopora, it is very fragile and I would not dare do any dip on healthy polyps, rather treat what is already affected because that will spread and die anyway. I did not suggest putting H2O2 in the aquarium, if you read. Iodine will NOT kill the bacterias causing brown jelly.....bin there done that already. Quote:

ummm didnt you post a while ago about how using hydrogen peroxide in the aquarium is great????? wouldnt a fresh water dip be just as dangerous as h202 if used only on the infected ares?? not trying to be argumentative but one post always seem to differ from another....again not trying to spark something....

![]() huh..nope. Never tried it in the tank so I would not say anything about that, only tried it as a dip for my zoanthids.
I killed a few zoanthids with freshwater dip...never killed one with H2O2 because it is simply tank water and extra oxygen. Beside, freshwater is useless against brown jelly so why do it??? Quote:
