![]() Get some lugols and follow the directions and dip it. Also definetly suction it off of it.
After thinking about it i had one survive and it is huge now. The problem is that it can spread to other corals so do what you need to quickly. Craig |

![]() And unfortunately, Goniopora (which I'm assuming you're talking about) doesn't have a very high survival rate with brown jelly.
If you know how to frag it, now might be a good time. |

And from that site, as well: "Treat the coral by removing it from the tank and place it in a container with an iodine solution. Gently blow the brown jelly off while the coral is in the solution AFTER removing it from the display tank."
