Hi guys, since few months I observer a little lost tissue on one of my acro, today I cut one of the affected branched and this is that I saw:

At the first time I think on Flatworms, but when observed the macro pic it doesn´t like flatworm eggs, I put a pump directly on the acro and I don´t see any flatworm going out of the piece.


Any advise please?


Thank you all!!!

Black Band Disease
To fight black band disease, and prevent necrosis, the corals can be treated with Tetracycline at 10 mg per quart/liter according to one author.
Brown Jelly
Cyanobacteria and brown jelly infections can be treated with Neomycin sulphite, Kanamycin and other broad-spectrum antibiotics. The pill can be pulverized into a fine powder, mixed with sea water to make a paste, and then applied to the wound, or affected site of the coral with a simple artists brush.

it looks like a bacterial infection.
