I recently bought my first and nice coral. A indo gold blue tipped torch. I've had it for 2 weeks now. It almost immediately opened and seemed to thrive when I placed it in my tank. And yetserday very suddenly his tentacles seemed super thin and wilting. Today he hardly has any tentacles out at all and they still look bad. I can even see his skeleton. Actually he looks awful... Is he too far gone?
Ammonia: 0
Nitrates: 12
Phosphate: 0 (bad i know. I used too much gfo recently. It should rise soon hopefully)
Ph: 8.1
Alk: 7.5 a little but should be fine, right?
Also, I have a hammer, a scoly, zoas, mushrooms, a xenia, and a couple encrusting montis... All are THRIVING. Excellent growth and polyp extension.
I've only begun this hobby at the start of the year so I have much to learn! Should I be worried? Do they do this from time to time to expel waste? Is there something I should proactively do to help him?
This is by far my most expensive and favorite coral. It was be a shame to see him die.
