I bought this torch at reefapalooza and when I got home I noticed that it’s flesh had started to recede on two of its heads what’s the best thing I can do to prevent it from dying

It had only been in the bag for about an hour and a half before I got home and I noticed it was like that while it was in the bag
 
How is it looking today? the fact the rest of it looks healthy gives me hope it may recover. i find spot feeding helps euphyllia bounce back
 
check out Kung fu corals on instagram, has a dip that has been proven with results from many! otherwise iodine always helps! Goodluck! Please keep us posted on what happens
 
After looking at it again three of the heads were receding, I don’t feel like it’s gonna recover

Speaking from my own personal experience, when the flesh already starts receding/pulling away from the skeleton head edge like that, it’s too late and it’s going to go, even if it takes a year to slowly die.

Curious if everybody else has had the same experience.
 
another solution is if there is a healthy head, can frag it from the others and save it!
None of them are really healthy the flesh on all of the heads is pretty much almost completely receding even on the best head.

I would normally agree, but I swear in these past 6 months now by a modified KFC/antibiotic dip. Combine that with clean, not too alkaline water and all my torches have made what I would used to have consider miracle recoveries.
