brown jelly, what to do?

[scarter]

I lost 10 heads of a 13 head torch to "brown jelly".
What should I do to save the last three?

FW dip?
break off the dead heads?

I am at a loss, this was one of myt nicest corals...
help me save whats left.

I would definately seperate them and nix the dead/dying colony.This will save anything else of possible infection/sting etc and at the very least help your tanks over all health durring this time. I would NOT suggest a FW dip, but, dip your remaining 3 heads in clean container of tank water saturated with iodine (according to the directions) for the recommended time(also usually in the directions) IIRC its something to the affect of a minute .Ideally follow with some fresh carbon, this will also help what ever may continue to be floating around.Time and sanitation is of the essence, good luck.

just so depressing to see it happen. practically overnight...

I agree, Iodine dip would be the best for now. Combine that with strong water movement + carbon + hope and just wait and see.

Good luck

Iodine dip, remove the clean heads, toss the rest. IF the clean heads get it, repeat cycle with them. Try to not let the jelly get on other corals.
