Glitter Goni BJD

[HouseofStark]

I work up this morning to feed the tank and see my glitter goni not right. It’s usually wide open with huge extension. But it’s looking like it is covered in BJD. I slowly removed it from tank and took a paint brush and lightly brushed it off. Placed it back in tank low light low flow…. Any thoughts or plan of action I should do?

gonis are one of the most beautiful corals but can also be the most frustrating ones. They can be happy one day and the next gone. You’ll have to ride it out and see if it improves.

So at this point you’d say leave be and just see what happens. Crazy because 1-2 days ago it had 4” extension. Super bummed. Have 5 other gonis near it, hope it’s not something that spreads :/. Not the Monday start I wanted.

An In tank treatment of cipro should kill the protozoan.

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...

If you have the supplies the KungFu Corals dip would be a good option.

Amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, restore, iodine are the ingredients for the dip.

I had some BJD and it saved some euphylia, lords, and a couple goni frags

If it is bjd you can try and dip it but most don’t recover from jelly. Very finicky corals. I had a total of 12 different ones at one point and 3 are not left. But the ones that are left have grown a lot. Wish I can give you better advice but I’m speaking from my experiences
