Unfortunately at this point, there is not much you can do. If you are using Reef Dip or TechD Try taking the iodine dip stuff at full concentration and daubing it directly on the affected areas every day or even twice a day. The brown jelly will still probably come back. Blowing the brown jelly off in a separate container is a good idea, but it won't do much in terms of getting rid of the infection; it will still come back. When you blow the brown jelly off though, do it very carefully without much force; otherwise you will detach more tissue from off of the corallite ridges. This just makes the brown jelly worse.

Once brown jelly on Goniopora has become entrenched, it is near impossible to get rid of. :( When it occurs on a healthy coral, is caught early, and treated immediately it can be cured.
