    It is a pretty coral. If BJD doesn't spread, I'd give this a shot.

    Yes its a pretty Coral! I guess I will give it a shot and see what happens. Should I try to vacuum off what I can of the Brown Jelly?

    BJD can spread to other damaged LPS. I would siphon what you can then treat out side of the tank in a coral dip.

    Will the Goniopora didn't make it and also my BTA also died, had one of my Peppermint shrimp eatting on it last night. So I flushed it. Very strange indeed, no other Corals are showing signs of stress. Can't figure what caused them to go so rotten, more so with the BTA. It's illness came on suddenly. I think I am giving up on those animals.

    +1 looks like Brown Jelly.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. Its likely the best way to treat the problem and hopefully kill/prevent the spread of the tissue necrosis.

    Will this is what I done with the remains! Cleaned up the skeleton and drilled it out and fit my Purple Death Paly right inside nice and neat.
    When it starts to grow and cover the skeleton it's going look really nice.
