Last night I took a look at my tank and noted to myself, "wow that duncan whisker looks incredible." In about 6 weeks the coral has doubled in size from 3 heads to 8 heads. Well this morning I woke up to some wonderful brown jelly encasing it with only 2.5 heads remaining. I took it out and got the jelly off and did a freshwater dip. I now have a depressing white stone left. I am now praying I don't wake up to the same thing with my acans and bubble coral, but I have a feeling I'm not going to be that lucky... I have prided myself on a perfect tank until this... Probably going to cry myself to sleep.... Anyway, sniffle, I am wondering are diseases such as this more common in smaller aquariums, mine is a 24g nano, or just as likely. The reason I ask, I am currently planning a 90+ gallon system and this is either going to fuel my project faster to completion or slow it down.
Brown jelly stole my only love

Sorry to hear about the loss. Here is a great article on "Brown Jelly", cause and maybe some prevention/treatments!
thanks. It looks like I may have saved 3-4 heads. Hopefully, everything else will be ok but I have a suspicious feeling my bubble coral might get it. I think this may be due to a much needed change with my r/o di chamber media. Gonna do some tests and see, but nitrates, nitrites and ammonia all reading 0, but I figured they were fine. Oh well, I think I am going to get a bigger tank, I don't like how quickly smaller tanks react minor things and I need to come up with excuses to go into debt
