Brown jelly affecting SPS

[grevedin]

Eric,

I have recently had a very similar "brown jelly" incident in my tank as described in this old post in your forum:

The picture posted by Tderasa shows exactly the type of mucus mass which I experienced, and which expanded over the colonies and wiped out several montipora capricornis colonies as well as a humilis colony.

Do you have any suggestion on how to treat the infected corals (chloramphenicol perhaps?). I have already tried various cures with no success:

1. Lugols dips

2. Fragging (didn't help - healthy frags taken far away from infected area developed the same problems a day later and died).

3. Doxycyclin Bath for 24hrs

Regards,
Giovanni
