What's happening to this hammer?

[andrewttw]

3 heads on Sunday, 1 melted, another one looks shriveled but the last looks fine. What's up? Is the shriveled one sick ? It's got slimy stuff coming out of It too and the mouth looks open

That's called brown jelly. A lot of euphyllia get this disease. Cut off the affected head or it'll spread to the other heads.

Huh brown jelly? It was fine at the lfs leh. I had 1 torch that got killed like that too. Just melted away. Any medication? Anyone know if it's a bacteria problem ? Want to get rid of the problem in the tank before I get any

Has anyone tried using Tifomycine (Chloramphenicol) or logols solution for the treatment of brown jelly? Any success?

I already broke off the infected head. Hammer currently sitting in freshly made saltwater and iodine

And does anyone know if the same bacteria in brown jelly affect the zooxanthellae in anemones too?

Brown jelly does not seem to affect other corals except Euphyllia. At least in my experience.

Hits my Duncans as well

If that part smells bad, means brown jelly disease

Bro. I think u have to prepare for the worst. My torch have 6 to 7 heads. Kena brown jelly now left with 3 heads. I also removed the affected portion but still hit. Cos i think other head may be injured and got infection during removal of other head. Also. When doing maintenance or putting the coral into tank, we have to take extra care not to injured yhe fleshy part. ... i do feel like feeding the coral can boost their immune to brown jelly. That in my own experience.

[andrewttw]

Having it in a separate tank currently seems to have slowed the brown jelly. Anyone know where I can't get this drug tyfomycine? Apparently it works on the disease

My octopus also same, some said no way to cure except broke the infected head

[flankell]

the left branch looks dying, probably need to cut it off...

5 hammer of mine die to brown jelly. Most of the time due to high nitrate. check your nitrate level!

[Powder blue Tang]

Brown jelly very scary , wondering is there a way to cure it

[andrewttw]

My hammer died when I put it back into my tank. Read that some German guy used Tifomycine to cure the brown jelly disease. It's some kind of broad based antibiotic I think.
