All About The Brown Jelly Disease

It's 2024 and we got a brand new episode of All About! I am so excited to be bringing y'all more episodes to the series! Make sure to subscribe to keep up with the releases.
This is a really tough disease to beat in the reef hobby and it also doesn't help that there is not a lot of proven facts from scientist on where it comes from and how to treat it.
I'll be sharing my experience with the disease and will also share some of the experiences from others and what they have tried that resulted in success!

I have been researching it for the last two years with my university. I cant speak much about my findings but in short any pathogenic event will be caused by an abioitic stress event that then shifts the corals microbial community to a pathogenic state. This can be as much as a small swing or warefare. Because you mentioned your torches were having warfare that is likely the root cause here. The two things i can offer going forward are
1. Increase your microbial diversity
- real live rock
- eliminating excess filtration such as UV sterilization
- ecobalance
- hydrospace probio
2. Chase stability
- pH
- po4
Are some of the largest factors that can cause pathogenisis

Thank you so much for your research and sharing this! This is awesome. Where are you attending for school?

[@rajgill7576]

I looked up that hydrospace probio stuff, pricey stuff. I'm pretty new to the hobby, is it something I need? I have a purple coralline algae booster bottle and reef roids fine powdered coral food so far. And I started my tank with frintzyme turbo start.

Happy New Year. Can’t wait to see all the new videos. 🎉

[@BrockLeonard]

Thanks for checking us out!!

[@tonycloseukreef3799]

This video has been a great help cheers Brock 👍

[@BrockLeonard]

Thank you Tony!!✌🏼

[@sueaustin9093]

Very Informative!! Great being able to see what the Problem Looks Like !! 👍🏻

[@BrockLeonard]

Thanks for watching!!

I just had a battle with brown jelly disease its the only thing that has set me back in this hobby, it was sad cause it was like nothing caused it. Lost about 7 pieces.

[@BrockLeonard]

It is a painful thing to go through

[@user-er5uv9hz6z]

Going thru it now, so frustrating. Lost torch , Duncan, and hammer to it already 😢

[@BrockLeonard]

Gahhhh lee😭

Supposedly sponges help keep the microbiome more their usual proportions in population, even during atypical water condition changes. From what I’ve read, most of the problem isn’t a particular problematic pathogenic organism- it’s often an eschew population proportions of pre-existing bacteria; sponges maintain this populations proportions as part of their DDAM (Dom, disease, algae, microorganism) cycle. Kinda useless info as sponges aren’t always easily kept, but plumbing in a sponge near the refuge um with some PVC, avoiding the light and making sure it can never lose its water level during a failure, could possibly see results.
Some people keep samples of their healthy, happy water changes to try and reintroduce previously known healthy bacteria populations.

This was a great read! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️

My goniopora frag in my new tank has just been melting from this stuff. Ive been blasting with a pipette removing what I can. Big sad!! Im hoping my other frags will be okay so far so good.
Edit: what do you dip with? I tried a hydrogennperoxide for the goni and it looked good for a day snd dropped some more polyps today ):

[@taylorhughes1106]

I am so sorry you lost your bubble coral ❤

[@mikemccoy7931]

Thanks for the video, sorry this happened.
How exactly did you go about siphoning the jelly out? Seems difficult

[@BrockLeonard]

I’ll try to explain this the best way I can over text haha. So you have your siphon and your tube. I remove the siphon so that the tube has a strong suction. Cover the tube with my thumb and then about half my thumb covers the tube and it sucks that brown jelly right off. I have hair algae video where I show that up close. Maybe that’ll help better than my explanation does 😂

[@mikemccoy7931]

Okay, that makes sense! I can see where that is probably the best way to deal with it@@BrockLeonard

[@Don_Garcia]

Hey bro make a video about horse shoe crab care please

[@michelhaineault6654]

I wonder if it's not also cause by excessive flow...

Thanks for coming by Jerry!

RIP BUBBLE CORAL

8 years old!

@@BrockLeonard Someday you might do other species of Angelfish and Tangs. I miss Tangs and Angelfish though.
