Hi everyone. I bought a torch and a big frogspawn a week ago and they were doing great. Today I get home from work and something is very very wrong. See pics below. The polyps are completely deflated and there is tissue recession on my torch. My frogspawn has its mouth wide open and it’s beginning to also show a deflated appearance. I tested all parameters and I’ll list them below; I recently had a nitrate spike and I know my alk is a little high but all the other corals in my tank are perfect. I’m worried they could be next. My thought is brown jelly disease but the torch looked fine this morning and I don’t see any jelly on it, only a little detritus.

I just tested all parameters and I just did a 30% water change because nitrates were high.

Salinity 1.026
Nitrate 15ppm (before water change)
dKH 12.8
Calcium 370
Mg 1110
Phosphate: 0.25
pH 8.1
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0

Your calcium is low. And your mag is way way too low

Aim for 450 calc and 1500 for mag
