torch advice

Hi guys so I just got my first ever torch and I need help figuring out if this is too much flow or too little flow for it? Or if it’s getting blasted in one direction too much it is a little closed up right now because I just moved it, excuse my clownfish they want food

This morning I woke up and my torch had let go of all of its flesh. I’m really not sure what happened as my parameters have been solid and stable. The flow has been what seems to be a sweet spot and my other torch that was right by it is doing great. What’s really unfortunate is that I had just...

Hello, Tank: 20 gallon AIO Parameters: Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrate: 20ppm DKH: 9 Salinity: 1.025 Temp: 78* My malaysian skittles torch ive had for about a month has been thriving. 2 days ago it looks healthy and colorful, and then I woke up this morning and an entire head has died off. I have a 2...

I recently aquired a ton of high end torches all spawns and name brand strains that went through a nasty tank crazy. No polyp extension heads melted all over the place. Some of these are super rare! Long story short I decided to put them through the KFC protocol and I couldnt be happier! 14 days...

Hello, the meat band on one of my torch corals is receding a lot, but the one about 4 inches away (lower) looks perfectly healthy. Any reasons why one would be affected by something but not the other? I took it off the rock, dipped it and put it in the sand bed for now. My only guess is it’s...

Hi all, Always something new to learn! Whats growing on my torch? And should I remove it?

Just got into the Torch game and wanted some confirmation on these IDs From Right to left. Dragonsoul, 24k, Grim Reaper, Todd's (has yellow streaks on base), browned out Holy Guac? I bought the 24k and "holy guac" from a reefapolooza show at chat TN. Holy Guac had a lot more green in it...

This past Saturday, I brought home a large hammer colony. Additionally, that afternoon, I treated a few large aiptasia in my tank with Joe's Juice, which I have used multiple times before and have yet to have any issues. The next day (Sunday) my small Holy Grail torch went from perfectly...

Hello everyone. Right now I have the Redsea Desktop which is a 15 gallon display and 18.5 gallon tank. The video is attached to show the current flow. If you do have too little flow what is a sign to look out for as well with torch corals. This is with the lights off so the polyp extension is...

New Tank- set up in Feb Current water tests: Alk 7.8, Nitrate 3.9, Phosphate 0.06, Salinity just under 1.026 I have a new torch coral, probably had for 3-4 weeks now. It has been looking fairly happy and healthy until the last couple days. One of the two heads, the tentacles are deflated...

One of the heads of our jester died and now a head on the nicks is dying too. Our parameters are good and mostly everything else seems pretty happy. I don’t know what to do :’( If you recommend a dip or something please be specific with the product because we’re still pretty new to this...

I have has this torch for a couple months and it's been doing swimmingly. Until I had a nutrient spike, then i started noticing tissue recession. I have been getting nutrients in check and dipped in medicoral and the existing polyps seem to be alot happier. Im curious if the other half of the...

Could someone help me ID this Torch. I recently bought it I was hoping that it could be a variant of a holy Grail thank you.

Hi all - I’ve had this torch for about two months and it was doing great until the last couple of weeks. The only thing that I’ve noticed was a rise in phosphates which I’m working to correct. I think the source of that was an autofeeder that I used for pellets while I traveled for a few days...

Hey everyone! I recently had a torch decay in a matter of hours. The torch had a super healthy flesh band and was thriving! I dipped it in revive coral cleaner because it was excreting brown good (potentially brown jelly?) and after dipping it excreted a thick sticky white good and many of the...

on every torch/ hammer coral i have had after a few months the flesh band starts to seriously retract. Does anyone know what could be the cause? I was battling a high phosphate issue and dont know if that could be the cause. (what are the parameters that affect the flesh band health) Also i just...

I cant figure out what this is. I recently got these in from SBB corals. I can't tell if this is the flesh of the torch riding up the skeleton or something else I should be worried about. I did dip all of them. It kind of flops around with the water movement.

Hey Everyone, My tank has been running for about 5 months now. With work and school keeping me busy I don't have large amounts of time to give to the aquarium every day. With that said both the hammer and torch have been doing great up until early this month when both of their flesh began...

Hi, I just got a torch 2 days ago, this is the first time I get a torch and don't have much experience with LPS in general. But my concerned is that it seems to be losing some of its flesh, I did put it in the lowest flow part today thinking that might help it. Appreciate the feedback, it...

Hello - new to the hobby. Recently setup a 62g aio from tideline. Beginning to start stocking it up. Noticed an auction for sbb corals ending today so decided to check it out. Ended up actually winning a few. Just want to get some opinions on each one. Is it a pretty good deal or do you think I...

Hey guys I have moved a large hammer coral from this space and am wanting to fill it with something. Only problem is this it’s kinda covered by this huge (basketball size) torch coral above it. Hence, when I moved the hammer coral. Anyone have any ideas as to what does well in low light?

Hello everyone, I lost a healthy torch coral overnight. It started to detach, and after it died, I noticed the skeleton had several hard bubbles under the flesh at the base, forming a fragile crust. All my other corals and fish are fine, and the parameters are stable, but I suspect the same...

Hello, Is this to much flow? Par is 52. Thank you
