Emergency Aussie Lord Help

[jasper24]

Received an Aussie Lord frag a few days ago. Today it is sloughing off a bunch of tissue and brown slime. I have lots of indo / non indo Lords in the tank. My thought is to go ahead and remove the Aussie piece in order to protect the rest. Thoughts?

I would remove the Aussie Frag as well & try an iodine dip & blow off or frag the infected areas. From what I have read & I could be wrong, but brown slime/jelly can spread to other acans that are near by.
I'm sure someone will chime in that can help you out alot more.

Definitely keep the dead tissue blown off and keep in good flow. Hope it makes it. Ive seen where alot of people have lost their Aussie frags. Dont know how people are fragging these things but have cut quite a few frags of these and havent lost one yet. Even the smallest flesh have made new polyps for me. So far they have been very quick to recover from fragging. Have all of mine in decent flow and fairly low light. 150w hung 8 inches above my 65.

Thanks folks. I received 2 frags / small colonies and 2 freebie frags. 1 colony and 1 freebie are almost gone at this point. Tissue just falling off. I have mine on the bottom of my 58G under 150W.

I would isolate the aussie acan. when one of mine got brown jelly it took out 90% of them. However all my indo ones lived.
