Green Goniopora going bald on top

I noticed that when I got him he had issues of hair loss on top, now it seems to have gotten worst. I also have read they normally don't live long. anyone got ideas what it can be going through?

 

Rogaine.

 

Hard to tell from pick but maybe brown jelly disease?

 

This is my surprised face :/ These corals have terrible success rates even short term in the hobby. The only tanks I have ever heard of keeping them were dirty tanks with higher no3 po4 with great filtration.

 

brown jelly disease, thats what it looks like to me too

 

Ooh great! I think I should get rid of him, maybe if I take a trip Saturday I can get a trade from him, I don't want it to jell my tank, yyuukkkk!!
He should do great at etco./

 

Is it contagious? Is that jell going to pollute the tank?

 

So here is my thought, I am not going to just let it sit in my tank and jell it as it slowly dies off. I am thinking to humanily destroy, dry out the skeleton and get a nice Zoa colony started on it, I think that would look awesome on that. Thoughts?

 

I'd try doing a dip first I believe people have had luck doing peroxide and tank water.. I was a reading a thread about it yesterday actually

 

I read that same thread. flowerpots and wall hammers are notorious for developing brown jelly and almost always you will lose the whole colony. This guy did a 4:1 or 5:1 ratio h2o2 dip making sure to flush the mixture through the BJD and saved a cool teal wall hammer.

Worth a shot
