My gold aussie torch started thinning in December, and has been shrinking ever since.
I tried moving it to lower light, dipping it, but it just keeps looking worse and worse (although still barely hanging on).

Most of the other torches look fine... besides a rasta that was right next to the aussie gold (which also isn't opening up)

Could this be a pest on the torch?

they are spionid worms, not hurting the coral but will start growing where the coral is dying because of free real estate
