martian55 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hi to all Shifus and seniors, I had an octopus coral which fell from its placed position and two heads got a got squashed for a couple of hours. After rescuing it, I noticed there was a purplish 'blister' wrapped around these heads. Can I ask if they are dying? Tentacles doesn"t seem to come out ever since (one day so far). Thanks in advance for the advice. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member reefbuilder Posted January 26, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2017 Looks like the infamous brown jelly. Its dying. Cut the head off so that it will not affect nearby healthy heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member aceww Posted January 27, 2017 SRC Member Share Posted January 27, 2017 You can also try iodine dip! Worked really well when my coral had it, recovered within a week though mine wasn't as bad as yours.

martian55 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Thanks to all shifus and seniors. Had cut off the affected one and isolated the rest for iodine dip but still lost 4 of the 5 remaining heads. Guess the bjd came too fast and furious. Happy New Year bros!Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
