Is my flowerpot dying?

[ogykogy]

Hi all need some help. My flowerpot coral is giving out brown slimmy liquid for the past 2 days.is it dying.?

[yikai]

flower pot corals aka goniopora are very difficult to keep. a picture will be great. brown stuff coming out from where? could be ur coral expelling out waste or zooxanthellae which is harmless, but u said 2 days which is rather long...

is the flesh melting? brown jelly disease perhaps? again, picture will be better.

my bet will be brown jelly disease. hard to cure as they keep coming back.

you can try fragging it or dip in lugol's solution or antibiotic treated water. and to slow it from infecting, siphon out the brown jelly. and blow out others. it will slow down the bacteria and give u time to try to treat it.

reasons for infection can be ur coral is injured and have open wound and ur water parameters are not in check, i suspect u have high nitrate.

all the best.
