About two months ago, I took over a friends corals who passed. Most were receding due to tank not being maintained well after. After adding to my tank, the majority of the corals bounced back quickly. Large duncan colony, bubble coral, cinnamon polyps, trumpets all returned to normally in a week or two. Frogspawn and hammers were slower. A lot of the heads are growing back, but some just died off. Never saw any signs or anything of disease, they just recessed back and never came back. This last weekend, i came home and saw what appeared to be a small patch of red slime on one of the heads that died a week or so back. Freaked out and took the coral out and immediately broke the piece off just in case it was brown jelly. Been a few days and havent seen any issues with other lps.
My question is this, if you have an established tank and you dont add any new corals for a while, is brown jelly present and looking for a coral to attack? Or is it brought in by a new coral that is sick and then spreads to others?
