A few different beliefs and methods on saving. Typically Lugols would be suggested, as it's an antiseptic. Me personally have never been able to contribute saving a coral that had brown jelly with Lugols. I have however saved several corals from brown jelly infections by siphoning out ALL visible signs of the slime off the coral, along with making sure my filters are clean and working good so none gets circulated throughout the tank, then the next day I'll swap out all filter media for fresh media so Im not harbouring any nasties. . Speculative, superstitious, with a hint of OCD? Maybe but it's worked for me, so I keep doing it. Even then it's not a sure save but does seem to at the very least help in it's controll. Good luck, deadly, deadly stuff to corals

Ya, probably what I would do. Just when you frag it carefully not to fling that stuff around. Personally, I would gently remove it from the system, and have it hanging upside down so I could snip the head without it falling or rubbing on any others, then place it back in the tank. Still clean your filters though, doesnt hurt.
