Okay, over the past two weeks ive been loosing torch heads, ive been dippng the unheathy looking ones in providone iodine, theyll look great again for a week then it'll be another head, perameters are always stable,
10kh
500cal
1.025
79temp
Low but traceable nitrates
60gal volume tank
Its either these worms that inch themselves around when they come off in the dip, or i suspect they could be bailing from being imported from Australian waters and not used to tank life, i have two aquacultured indo torches that look great everyday, 1000s of zoas, acans, frogspawn and hammers, all doing great. But every 3 days or so i wake up to find a torch head with the brown film over the head and pretty much gone, similar to BJD. Thank you guys!
