Tuesday of this week (2days ago) I got a shipment of 4 new torches. They all looked to be shipped well and 3 out of the 4 are opened and happy, but 1 was pressed up against the bag when I received it. I was getting my dips going and all so I can’t remember which one it was, so I am guessing this one. Fast forward 2 days to today, this 1 torch is not looking fantastic. I am typically a pretty let nature run its course kind of guy, but I have been reading a lot about the H2o2 dips, and didn’t know if this would be a good candidate.

I see what appears to be sweeper tentacles and algae on the plug, but wasn’t sure if something more serious was going on or if H2o2 would be appropriate regardless. I could be overreacting annd just looking for something that isn’t there. All of my corals go through coral rx and bayer before being introduced to the tank.

Any feedback is helpful! Thanks!

Here is how it looked yesterday. Seems like regression.

From fits picture I would say it’s a gonner,looks to far gone I would leave it and hopefully it could make a recovery
 
Wound up being brow jelly disease.. lightly basted with the pipette dropper and the torch polyps basically just fell out with the brown strings.

Do I need to do anything else to protect other corals? Phosphate is a little high but everything else in tact it seems.
