Problem with new torch corals!?

P

beautiful corals and promising information. Hoping they can recover!!

I mean my candy canes were dead. They were 10x worse than this pic. This was during recovery. If they can come back from that I have hope for these torches

Yeah that’s wild. Still some hope left I suppose!

I’ve attached some photos in white. The one on the left looks the best of the group. The one on the right looks slightly better today than yesterday.

I’m most worried about the middle one and wondering if I should just cut my losses and toss it to prevent it from becoming diseased and spreading?

Thoughts!?

have you tried dipping them in iodine.

Update:

• Middle torch didn’t make it as some of you predicted. Of course it was the one that came in shipped without being glued to a Frag plug
• These other two are showing signs of improvement and opening more by the day.
• This is a nighttime shot so they were actually more open earlier.

My question: How long should I leave them on frag rack before glueing to their potential permanent home?

#reefsquad any ideas? When I should move these corals off the rack?

Bump - Still looking for advice on how long to keep these on frag rack before mounting since they are still opening up.

You can mount them.

Update! 2/3 made it and are recovering and growing healthier tissue and stronger skeletons. I added a 3rd on the right from my LFS a few days ago.

Excited to have some healthy torches in the tank. Now stability, stability & more stability!!

Update! Torches are thriving!!
