    I'm almost sure my brain has brown jelly

    Any saving it? What kind of dip should I do to keep from spreading

    An iodine based dip is your best bet. Just make sure the jelly doesn't get loose in the tank and spread to other coral. If you can, frag it to remove the diseased area first then dip it.

    If you see any brown jelly ie. necrotic tissue, you can use airline tubing to siphon off the dead/necrotic tissue and giving the coral a bath with an Iodine solution like TM Pro Coral Cure or similar product is likely the best way to treat the problem as the iodine will act as an antiseptic and hopefully kill prevent the spread of the tissue necrosis.
