Can a dying Brain coral kill other corals?

I have a brain which is receding and is about 1/2 gone now.. Its kinda spewing this clear/white slime from it which I believe is the actual coral dying. It was damaged during transport and never got better. Should I remove it or would it harm my other corals with the "stuff" coming off of it?
Confused..

 

I would remove it, the stuff its spewing is not good for the other corals.

 

ok.. Should I turn up my skimming to get the nastyness out of there too?

 

Hi Bama

if your 100% sure its dying, sounds like a good plan

but if your not 100% sure put a photo up in the ASAP section and get some confirmations on the condition of the coral .It might be obvious, but just in case

also are you running carbon ? as that will help with removing any potential problems

+1 on the carbon, dont worry so much about turning the skimmer up, but up teh carbon for a day. Also a pic would be cool, it might just be really mad haha corals are like lil kids and can get in moods lol but yea if its dieing take it out

 

I can get a pic later. I am pretty sure its dying. It has just gotten worse and worse over the period of a week.. Only the exoskeleton is showing on about half of it..

I actually dont have carbon running right now, and I cant get any until tomorrow morning..

 

Oh sorry Bama
that does sound bad though from the description

its night where you are now, but during the day where the other corals all doing OK
opening as normal ?

That's a tough decision.. How long have you had it?

 

the other corals seem to be fine.. I just dont want things to go south.. Also I had my tang die today which isnt good.. I tested my levels and everything was fine. I Guess I just get to keep the exo to put back in later after everything dies off of it..
