Bought my torch

[aus1230]

Recently purchased a torch and when I dipped it I noticed the flesh probably wasn’t in the best shape. Not sure how to approach this with the vendor so I’m looking for some advice or is it normal to receive torchs like this?

Do you have pics?

Best to contact the vendor with pics and ask, you'll find reputable shops will be very helpful and understanding.

Torches sometimes aren’t the best shippers. Like @NanoSteam said if we had pics we’d possibly be able help. Also tank parameters.

As mentioned. Pics and tank parameters.

really hard to offer advice without a pic.

Echoing what everyone has said. Need pictures, and what it looked like before it was shipped

Pics uploaded sorry about that.

Sorry. They didn’t upload for some reason.

They didn’t upload this morning for some reason but should be in the chat now.

It's hard to tell but is the flesh cut up in this spot?

 

[BryanM]

And does that look like the pic they advertised?

Yes. Noticed it when I got it home and dipped it.

This was an in person pick up. I know I should’ve asked to look at the flesh and it’s a lesson learned for sure. The torch didn’t look the best but it seemed like he had the flow off before I arrived so I just assumed that had a lot to do with it.

This picture might show it a little better where it looks like the polyps are already missing.

 

[NanoSteam]

Yes. Noticed it when I got it home and dipped it.

Looks torn up, I was going to say reach out to the vendor but you got it in person. I'm not good with dips so someone else may have a suggestion for an antibiotic dip to avoid a BJD situation.

 

[BryanM]

Sadly I would not be happy with that torch in that condition, unless you got it for a steal and knew it needed some love.

Yes. Noticed it when I got it home and dipped it.

I haven’t seen any brown substance coming from the torch. Would you still think it could be BJD?

Not BJD but to avoid it ending up that way.
