jason7504 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 can brown jelly infections spread to other eupthylas(too lazy to look up the spelling lol) even if there healthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 to my knowledge it cant be spread to healthy polyps its not a disease that attacks healthy tissue I have even saved wall hammers and frogspawns by cutting into the healthy flesh sort of like what they would do for gangrene in us and it has saved the colony.With branching torches,hammers,frogspawn just cut infected head away and should stop the problem we have colony's come in sometimes already in this shape but I never want to throw a coral away if it has a chance and it has never spread to healthy colony's.

reefboy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I see you have a ticker on your posts is your tank only a few months old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have had the brown jelly stop at killing 90% of a head on a FS. The remainder 10% healed up and started growing again. It is still living, and I think I gave it to someone a few months ago, either for a teacher tank, or for the coast guard tank. I don't remember which. I would say don't throw the head out, let it run the course and see if anything survives. Having 2 of 3 heads survive is better than nothing. Euphyllia don't ship well when the bang into the sides of the bag and get cut up. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
