So i have had this torch for months and it was doing great, with no changes to my tank its flesh has receded very rapidly and i am seeing a small dark cluster of something on its flesh is this flatworm eggs and if it is how do i stop them on my torch and will they now be on the rest of my euphyllia?

To me that looks not like ephyllia eating flatworm eggs, they are usually orange or white and they mostly lay their eggs on the base of the flesh. The flesh band on your torch is excellent and the receeding tissue you experience is probably growth of the skeleton, it looks super happy.

If you are paranoid of that spot there you can take the torch out do a dip to see if anything sketchy falls out (i recomend iodine based dip) and also you can take a tooth brush the kind small kids use which is extra soft and try brush it off but it’s highly risky because you can damage the flesh and cause an infection which WILL kill the torch
