Brown jelly disease???
 
Just wondering if anyone can tell me if this looks like brown jelly disease. My favites started receding and now looks like it is growing brown fur/hair. If so, any recommendations? The rest of the corals in my tank look good and I would like to prevent it from spreading.

It's kind of hard to tell from those pictures, but are you sure it's not just diatoms growing where the tissue has receded?

Thanks for the suggestion, don't think it is diatoms where the tissue receded since the previous day the this area was alive and well. It had only receded along the bottom edges.

lost a goni to brown jelly. it did start at the bottom edge. i dipped it in lugols (i think that's what it was) but it just kept spreading. i ditched it before it spread to my other corals. it's a hard thing to get a handle on, in my limited experience.

I went to a frag show and one of the vendors said to try and dip them in a peroxide dip. It seems to slow it down so maybe repeat a few times. I saw a hammer showing signs. I dipped it and it held on for a week longer. Maybe I didn't dip long enough or as high of a concentration as I should have

You may try dipping or just bit the bullet and yank it out of your tank. It can spread from one coral to the next.
