That's a very sick torch (and not in the good way).
okay thank you. Should i just keep dipping and blowing off what I can every week or so?From want i see that's a damaged torch with mesenterial filaments out (digestive stinging cells deployed for defense, stress or feeding, the white stringy parts) and I may see some euphyllia-eating flatworms that would need to be taken care of
My LFS this summer, it was getting bigger and I just noticed this. Any tips on how to treat it?That's a very sick torch (and not in the good way).
Yes, dip every week or two for 2-2 1/2 months. Do not blow them off in the tank as they can land on other euphyllia. The repetitive dips are to kill the newly hatched individuals as the eggs are unaffected by the dip, also scrape off any visible eggs in the dipokay thank you.

Okay thank you. Are these the cells deployed for defense or a lot of flatworms?Yes, dip every week or two for 2-2 1/2 months. Do not blow them off in the tank as they can land on other euphyllia.

The flatworms you circled did fall off but not the filaments I believe, I also used a baster and they didn’t come off. I will keep eyes on it and dip it weekly. Hopefully it will recoverThough most importantly did they fall off when shaken in the dip solution?
Then they are thankfully filaments. Consistent weekly or bi-weekly dips for 2-3 months will solve the flatworm problem.The flatworms you circled did fall off but not the filaments I believe, I also used a baster and they didn’t come off.
