Hi all! I have a lovely torch that is purple with a green mouth (I think they're often called joker or atomic torches). It's growing fine and always seems happy.
I've had two other torches, a dragon soul and a standard green tipped torch. I lost the dragon soul to BJD many, many months ago. I recently just lost my green tip, which was one of my first corals and showed absolutely no sign of stress of illness whatsoever.
The common denominator in both of these random losses is that they occurred shortly (a few weeks) after I placed them next to the joker torch. Of course, this is likely just coincidence, but I wondered if there's a possibly the atomic torch has a different microbiota or something that isn't compatible with the other torches? Or is it a carrier of BJD? Or could the atomic torch be stressing the others? I find the latter unlikely given they showed no signs of stress.
Has anyone experienced something like this before?
