torch coral dying

Use to have this coral similar to looking like this but bigger (First picture). But has unfortunately had a rough patch now looking a bit like this When i bought is around what it looked like in the first pic and the rest is current (Sorry they aren't the best pictures) Just started dosing it...

Ok this is driving me crazy.. please help. I've had issues before, but worked through them. This is starting to get at me though... Parameters been stable for months: calc 440, kh 9.0, nitrate usually 12 but now 0 thanks to bit of algae breakout inc. Phos 0.04. Salt today was higher at 35.8...

Just wondering if this is the correct amount of tissue on my torches skeleton or if it is experiencing tissue recession. It’s fully open and happy in the daylight. It’s slowly split from one head to around 5 now. Does the tissue look like it thins out as new heads grow? Photo in blues and...

Is my torch on its deathbed? It was nice and big for a while when it first entered the tank and then it began splitting. Photo coloring is terrible but there is no brown slime at the moment. The center does have this bubble look to it. I did dip this and all my other corals before adding It. All...

Will the tips of torch corals regrow and create a new torch? My torch coral died from brown jelly disease and it was dropping parts of its tentacles. When I cleaned out the torch after it passed and everything I noticed a couple days later that the tips of the coral and bits and chunks that were...

My torch has never done this when the blues come on. Tonight it’s got super tiny. Is this thing getting ready to try to bail?! I tagged dying because I need to change something if it’s getting too much flow or what’s going on here before it bails. Usually it’s fluffier than this when the blues...

Hello everyone, I've woken up today to my torch coral looking as if it's attempting to leave it's skeleton! I have read other posts about this strange event occurring and I have came to understand that it is a result of the coral being unhappy with its conditions. Probably unstable salinity in...

Hello guys so 9 months into reefing. And now first time I faced elemental problem. Had a drop of Kh from 8.0 to 7.0 and my expensive torch started losing flesh and some polyps. The problem here is that I cant get my dosing system run because Mg and Ca are redline since the first testing without...

So got a banana torch last week started out very great noticed the flesh in one spot was a little short so i kept it in lower flow and after a couple days i noticed the flesh start to recede in that spot. Pulled it out and did a dip in reef dip for about 4 minutes and put it back in the tank in...

Hey guys so I had a Torch shipped to me January 5th so I've had it 3 months now. It came to me bleached it had spit up its zooxanthella in the bag unfortunately. So its been completely white for 3 months now and shows no signs of getting better, if anything its doing worse then when I first put...

Torch was totally fine yesterday and I came home today and saw this: Pieces of tentacle look ripped, falling off. any suggestions of what I should do?

Hey all, I am new to reefing and decided to jump in feet first and go right for torches (regrettable) because of the movement it brings to the tank. I then proceeded to add a bunch of LPS and Zoas as well to mix things up. Im finding that im having trouble keeping certain torches happy. one of...

Good evening R2R. I'm looking for some suggestions concerning Euphyllia no longer extending polyps. SETUP: 120g mixed reef. Shallow sand. Lit with Aquatic Life T5/LED Hybrid running ATI Blue+ and 2 Kessel A360Ws. Supplement with BRS/Tropic Marin Balling Method and adding Red Sea Reef...

Hey everyone! Looking for some feedback on your success and failure rate of keeping aussie vs indo torches along with my current situation. So I have 3 tanks that all are flourishing, fairly stable parameters around 8dkh, 36ppt salinity, 77 degrees, higher nutrients (20ish nitrates) and .14...

I had a system crash in June within my DT. Multiple blooms of bacteria and algae. I removed most of my LS to my QT. While in the QT tank, my torch started to close up. On the day that the DT was ready for the LS, I noticed a strange film on the top of my torch. I removed it and placed it in its...

*testing water parameters as I type this** So I’ve been steadily noticing that my gold torch used to be big and inflated but is now starting to not get as voluminous as it used to. I’ve been trying to stay optimistic, thinking that it’s just prepping to grow another head, but I still have...

So I found my torch with what I believe to be brown jelly. I have no idea how it even got in my tank as I haven't added anything in over a month and done two water changes since, but now I'm at a loss on what to do. I have another tank I've been cycling that is probably on week 4 now and I just...

Okay, here goes nothing, I'm so new to this and I ask that you be kind because I'm frustrated and confused. I read somewhere that everyone needs to know absolutely everything about the tank and the way I'm running it, so I'll try my best. So, about 2 weeks ago now I noticed my torch coral in...

Hi, can someone tell me if this coral in the pic is dead? I cut the heads because they closed and never opened again and it was dying and I read somewhere online that if you cut the dead head it might survive, it still looks green and it doesn’t smell yet, I use to have it close to the surface...
