Brown Jelly Disease

Most likely it's just expelling waste and looks fine this morning.
Do you feed this coral? What do you feed it?
Can you post a pic or send a pic to me at [email protected]?

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-

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.

im a bit reliefed. it was brown and slimy i thought it was brown jelly. i'll keep it in qt for a couple of days and i messed up badly i did not acclimated it to the QT water. dang it my fear got the best of me. dang it. does the BJI infect soft. or sps?

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.

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.
