I've not seen BJI in over a year and a half. My theory at the time of why I got BJI twice was because I was making some major changes in the tanks chemistry. There were a lot of changes going on with the tank at that time, I was more of a  noob then I am now and sometimes wouldn't take things slow.

I'm not sure if FWE works but doing an iodine dip sure didn't.

i doubt that FWE will do anything to this disease it a totally different species but it does not hurt to try i'll keep in mind if this truly happens ]]> Fri, 26 Nov 2010 21:45:13 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44975&PID=387089&title=brown-jelly-disease#387089 <![CDATA[Brown Jelly Disease : Flatworms are a kind of Protozoa....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44975&PID=387087&title=brown-jelly-disease#387087 Author: Mark Peterson

Flatworms are a kind of Protozoa. I wonder if Flatworm Exit/Levamisole will stop this disease?

Micah, if this has been a recurring problem for you, I suggest considering a full dose in your tank. One treatment may be just what the tank needs to eliminate the dormant population and stop the disease from returning. Alternatively, the way each tank is set up makes conditions just right for something that never shows up anywhere else. This "something" might be a good thing or a bad thing. A small change in the setup can make the difference. Do I remember correctly that it's your tank where you rake the sand and bubbles come out? If so, this combination is all quite curious and deserves further attention.

It mostly sticks with softies and LPS's, and I've not herd of it infecting SPS's though. I've had my torch and xenia colony go down because of BJI.

Mine does that every few days and it's just waste on mine. I hope that is what yours is.

Then it sounds like Mark hit the nail on the head, it's pooping. Count yourself lucky, BJI sucks balls. It's pretty much a death sentence for the infected coral.

Mine did not look like that it was coming from the middle of the head, like smoke and just hanging  from the mouth it was brown and slimy. It has not complety retrated so far the torch looks ok, i'll keep a close watch in case.

I've had BJI ( brow jelly infection) before and with a torch coral. It comes fast and hard. Here is a pic to help you identify it-

Healthy-

BJI-


If it is BJI it's most likely your torch will die and it's not as infectious as you might think, however get it out in a QT asap with the least amount of debris falling off possible. I would suggest doing an emergency water change as well if you want to be super safe. As far as treatment, you can blow off the dead matter with a power head and give it an iodine dip but this didn't work for me. 

Good luck!

Micah
