Favia Question

I brought a Favia Coral home from my nephews tank as it wasn't doing well for him, The question is, it is  letting off a slimmy cob web looking stuff, why is this??

Thanks, John

 

All I can say is best of luck. Doesn't sound good.

 

I can't tell you what the slime is, but it's pretty normal for LPS to let-off-slime when they're disturbed. I've thought I killed corals before when they start sliming....but, they always popped back in a day or so. I would keep a close eye on it. If it doesn't look better in a day or 2, you might have an issue.

 

May wanna check into brown jelly disease and find some pictures to see if that is what is going on.

 

Thank you all!
