Goni covered in slime?

[Chrism1330]

Hey guys I recently noticed my goni has been covered in some kind of slime. Does anyone know what that may be. The only thing i did recently was add seachem amino acid last night. Should i do anything? Is it dying? All my other corals seem fine

Ooof, looks like brown jelly disease

Experimenting with in-tank antibiotic treatments for Brown Jelly Disease

Brown Jelly Disease (BJD) is an issue many reefers have run into. Like most coral diseases, the pathogen causing BJD has not been conclusively determined. Here I will share some observations and test results supporting the idea that its caused by a bacterial pathogen, and so may be treatable...

Likely a goner. They're not the best as a beginner coral unfortunately.

My goni was thriving so well too. Is there anyway to prevent this disease?

I've been doing this for a little while and I still can't keep gonis...

Why are you adding amino acid?

Why are you adding amino acid?

To help feed one of the corals that was dying from getting eaten by the shrimp.

They are that hard huh? I didn't think it would die on me, Steve from Lucky Ocean did warn me… one of the hardest corals to keep alive.
