Can one corals death cause a chain reaction?

oh but the h1n1 virus come from a pig and transfered to a human. This is one of the most dangerous situation when a virus goes from an animal, chicken or pig, to a human.

If it is brown jelly and if it is caused by a vibrio bacteria, it could spread to other corals around it. I have seen it go from a duncan to a sps and I managed to save the duncan with a peroxyd dip then but lost the sps.

Recently I used furan 2 to cure RTN on a sps and it worked well. I would suggest next time you get such affected coral, just try a 3 minutes dip with furan 2 in a little container with tank water.

A lot of parasites are specie specific but it seem bacterias are not.

Virbrio. Nasty nasty nasty stuff. Nearly put me off raw oysters for good, and certainly ruined an entire trip to New York.
