For the last month my Cristata torch has been splitting. It's finished the split and now looks like it's dying. A white cap has formed on one head and the other is sucked in and looks like crap. Any ideas as to what's going on or advice on what if anything I can do for it?

I believe it to be a bacterial infection. At this point i would frag off that head if you can and dip the good head in lugols. The white is similar to bjd but can act faster and spread to the other heads rather quickly if i remember right. @MERKEY thoughts?

Do you have a new picture and how much do you trust that guy? I get all kinds of misinformation from some lfs and meet only a few people that actually know what they need to know....i trust @MERKEY with any torch guidance tbh just because he is solid and def. knows more then anyone else i have ever talked to when it comes to torch corals....hope everything works out. if you start seeing issues i would get it out right away...keep us updated
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
