Have you started treatment yet? You have to act quickly to save them. The torch looks like it has "brown jelly" which is an infection -i believe- that is contagious. You'll want to dip it in a coral dip and hope for the best. Keep it away from any other euphyllia and down-stream of them as well if you don't have another tank to put it in.

Well all fish but 2 are gone. And the 2 left are not showing signs. I guess I'm lucky I didn't have more fish.

I'm sorry for your loss... Did you ever start treatment?

I did fw dip 3 but I could not get the meds in time to save them. Just bad timing. I noticed it first Thursday I live in fl so we had a huricane issue. Then Fri the first does and I couldn't get out due to the curfew. Then sat morning the last 3 died. I looked for the meds and still can not find Formalin-MS. Does anyone know where to get it on Amazon or eBay?

You should have on hand or know how to get ahold of for your next round of fish but you must Qt them and if you see a problem then you can react accordingly to save them.

I always have prazipro and copper in my medicine cabinet for standard QT. methyline blue is good for treating injuries and could come in handy at some point
