Torch Bailing Out or Recovering?

[kornface13]

Theres some interesting algae on other corals as well. THis shows it about as well as I can. Any idea what this is?

Maybe it is bacterial....

The stuff on the purple blasto is on like 5 other corals as well. Sometimes it can be easily sucked/blown off and other times its stuck on there a bit more to where my baster isn't enough.

System looks new with some pest algae.
The torch looks it was tasted.

Well we're definitely going downhill. Maybe the firefish is the culprit.

The jelly coming out of the side of the coral is bad. Bjd.

I've delt with it twice in the past 3 months. It's not as brown as you think it would be.

You can put the torch in a bag on the side of the tank if you want to let it die if you don't have the medicine.

You can frag the other healthy head off.

Tanks pretty darn new looking

If it was white and looked similar to what was in my hammer, I believe it’s a form of defense and a chemical that can harm other corals. When I first placed this hammer into my tank it had this and after a couple days it was gone and been happy ever since.

If the torch has been completely recessed like that for a second day in a row, do an iodine dip and see if it recovers. I had a pep shrimp picking on one of my torches and so I dipped it and moved it to my frag rack and has been doing well ever since.
