Duncan mucous?

[Jackg962]

I have 3 seperate colonies of Duncan's. One in the bottom of picture keeps getting covered with a brown mucous like stuff. The bigger colony in towards top of picture has several heads getting the mucous on it. What is this? An do I need to take them out an dip them in revive or similar product?

yes.

sounds like brown jelly disease. Definitely dip and cut away bad parts if you can

dip it in Revive or I have some Medic coral dip? its on the bottom colony with 2 heads. How would I cut the heads off of the big colony? How did I get this or how can I prevent it?

 

[fishcraze_1]

you can use a dremel or wet tile saw or band saw.

 

[Jackg962]

can I try to treat it, or do you think it just should be cut off?

 

[Jackg962]

Would it help to run some charcoal or purigel type water cleaner to help?

dip and cut if you can to avoid it spreading
