Mark or critter on new torch

[MusiclyDeclined]

What is this on tip of torch tentacle? At first glance I thought it may be a flatworm but looking closer it almost looks like damage mark? Only spot on the whole thing. New coral, About a week or so. Dipped in coral rx then iodine based reef dip before adding to system.

Looks like damage to the tentacle. I've had torches drop tentacle tips in the past for random reasons. I usually assume it was either a fish nipped it, crab snipped it, or rock clipped it but I never really knew what happened - just that it appeared to have a small cut/break in the tentacle and then that part would fall off and the tentacle would heal.

It looks it lost that tip and is healing.

Okay awesome, So you're fairly sure its not pest? Thats my main concern since there's multiple types of euphylia. Don't wanna have to pluck and dip and re stress it if unnecessary. And thanks for the reply and information!
