Another random death

[mumra]

It looked a little unhappy yesterday where it is now dead. When I came downstairs after the lights came on this am it looked like this. Has some strange brown stuff on it aw well. I've already moved all of my snails to the sump and added bumblebee snails in case vermitids were causing my recent problems. WTF is going on here?!

Could the brown stuff be brown jelly disease ?

Could the brown stuff be brown jelly disease ?

Beats me. First time I've ever seen it.

Should I cut off the dead part? Take the whole thing out and dip it in some Revive?

I'll get a better pic with a filter when I get home.

I think there are clear pictures on the web showing the differences btw brown jelly diseases vs Brown filament discharge. I’ve recently gotten few torches and one had the brown stringy stuff coming out and didn’t look good for few days. I just used activated carbon but I can tell it wasn’t brown jelly diseases because that one seems to cover the coral instead of discharge?

And I am not sure if it was caused by vermitid snails. Maybe you have the ones that are really big?!? But they usually irritate the corals and not really kill them. If you have issues with vermitid snails casting web, you should clear up your water column from having particles flowing around. And corals do die for no reason, if your other corals are looks good…. Try to save it. I would cut the branches from healthy one. Looks to be two branches?

Upon further review it appears to be dead tissue.

Also, while I do get that things done just die sometimes, this has been happening a lot lately. It will look amazing and then suddenly turn and die.
