SRC Member iskay Posted August 4, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted August 4, 2014 Looks like brown jelly. I've not heard of any reliable cure. Frag off the affected and perhaps dip the rest in coral rx Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.

SRC Member poh34 Posted August 11, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 11, 2014 This brown jelly is very deadly. Lose one torch head one after another. Spread to another torch coral.... took it out finally n smash the affected head with hammer. Put back to tank. Dont know can survive a not.

Planted Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I wonder if siphoning helps to remove them? I really don't know and asking to learn ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewttw Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 My new torch seems to also have it. 4 heads simply melted away within a week. 2 surviving heads left. Been so busy haven't had time to find a solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starocean91 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I took mine out, brushed off the affected part and dip it with coral rx solution. The remaining "heads" still doing very well until today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member poh34 Posted August 12, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 12, 2014 From what i checked. The only method seem to be remove infected head . The remaining dip in coral rx. Then put back. Most of the time. Peopke throw away the whole piece to prevent from spreading. I witness it. It spread in a week. From 1 head become 3 head dead. N spread to another torch. I would advise bro who buying coral to check throughly, especially when u lifted up the coral n it retracted. U can see clearly any dying or dead heads.
