Recession or Bailout?

[downonthereef]

Hello, please see the attached photos. I've just picked this torch up, as you can see the tissues has shriveled up over the last 2 hours since putting it in my tank. The only time I've ever seen tissue do this was when my polyps bailed a few months back and I beg this isn't the same case. However, in my case of bailout, the tentacles were very deflated

What are the levels of your tank for everything? also how new is your tank?

Not checked them in about a month, it's been up and running for 11 months, I have 4 other torches that have big healthy tissue extending down the skeleton. I run carbon, saltinity is stable, tds is 0

Another positive is no gaping mouth, that also happened with the bailout. Fingers crossed I was just a little to egar with the acclimation and it's just abit stressed

I'm no euphyllia expert but for having just added the coral to the tank I don't see anything that I'd be worried about.

Perfect! I'm just sooo insecure with euphyllia after losing almost £2000 worth earlier this year! The slightest thing makes me worry

Bailout- There would be no polyps seen but rather suspended. This torch, do doubt unhappy. For starters, If you have leather corals, this may be part of the issue. Many leather coral species produce and release toxic chemicals, called terpenes, into the water to protect themselves and to stunt the growth of other species. One of the biggest problems I have seen beginner hobbyists have is failing to account for the calcium demand for these corals. If there is insufficient calcium in your aquarium water, these corals will not be able to make their coral skeleton. You should also never lift a torch coral out of the water if you can avoid it. You could tear the polyps, and torn polyps are prone to infection followed by necrosis
Torch require typical parameters including a temperature around 78 degrees, a specific gravity of about 1.025, ph of about 8.2, and a calcium level of about 400 ppm. Like most large polyp stony corals, a torch coral benefits from moderate water flow. The polyps will remain retracted and under-inflated if the water current is too fast because the large flowing polyps are prone to rip and tear in high or ultra-high current environments.
The torch coral is a photosynthetic coral, meaning it has a relationship with symbiotic zooxanthellae (single-cell photosynthetic organisms) that live inside its tissues that converts the light energy into sugar. In exchange for a home inside the coral, the zooxanthellae split their harvest and feed the coral. Therefore, it is possible to keep the Torch coral without any feeding at all. However, all corals are animals, and animals are meant to eat.
The best placement for a torch coral is in a location that gets moderate water flow and moderate-intensity lighting.

So, are you saying this is bailing, or were you just describing polyp bailout? At the start there? But thanks for all this info! Learnt something new today

Describing bailout- Its recession

Thank god! You're very helpful for torches! I Think you've helped me a few times with euphyllia! Thanks again
