This is just my experience as I wanted to share with you all. By any means as this seemed to work for me. I hope by telling everyone what I did will work for them.
I have a non branching hammer coral that started with a little bit of Brown Jelly one day and progressed rapidly over nite almost wiping out the whole coral. I dipped it in coral rx coral dip and attempted to get as much of the brown jelly off my swirling the coral around in the dip. All that did was slow down the disease but it did not cure it. After doing so research online. One reefer used a clean small paint brush to remove any dead tissue and brown jelly in a coral dip.
So here's what I did:
Like him I used a clean small paint brush. I removed the coral from the tank and placed it into a separate plastic dish with tank water and a few heaping cap fulls of Coral rx coral dip. Using the brush I cleaned and removed any dead tissue and brown jelly off the bad section completely down to the skeleton. I took a bottle of super glue and completely glued the skeleton area that was infected onto a little bit of the healthy tissue area to assure that the brown jelly was not hiding out or starting to infect good tissue. It has been 4 days and the coral has expanded and has shown no signs of the brown jelly disease. Again this seemed to work for me. I hope by sharing this it will help others. If it's a branching coral with the disease just a quick snip of the bad branch and coral rx dip the healthy coral works for the branching LPS.
