Looking for help on healthy corals (torches) just randomly dying. I believe the parameters are good cause these are spawn offs. Don’t see how parameters can be bad if the spawns are growing and looking great. Now head by head they’re dying.

what does a dead head look like and how fast do we go from healthy to dead.

I do see a lot of Aptasia and they can be quite problematic.

Even if an Aiptasia doesn't instantly wipe out a large torch colony, continuous stinging causes the torch to stay retracted, leading to slow starvation and eventual death.

Dead heads look white and it usually takes less than a week once I notice it not as happy

Parameters?

Light and flow?

Any of your livestock bothering them?

Age of tank?
