I have a 15 gallon tank and in the front I have a torch island recently I lost a 3 head Cotten candy torch to BJD how do I maintain it as it spreading to other torches near.

My parameters are good and I have no clue how this happened I got this from someone new and I never dip corals so maybe that’s why it how

Parameters
Alk 10.3
Phos .04
Nitrate 5
Salinity 1.025

Well could be a few reasons, but once it's there it's hard but try to cut the bad heads off on the other torches before you lose them all. I run cipro as part of my preventative maintenance and havent had bjd in over 2 years and i'm adding in lps all the time - something worth looking into, however others here may state something else, so dont just listen to me.
 
I had an episode that killed 3 Torches, two Hammers and the Torch that caused it just recently. About $700 worth. I don't think I'll ever buy another Torch.
