My torch coral has been closed since yesterday, it looks like one of the heads are peeling and letting this brown stuff out. Anyone know what it is? How do i treat it? Also has some sort of flat worm, anybody know what’s the name of the worm?

The brown could be brown jelly would need more pics but typically it could all die sometimes not I’m sure someone better experienced but. Hope you’re able to have some recovery

Hard to really tell in this picture but if it is brown jelly then I will relay information I got for that once. The polyp that has the infection need to be removed ASAP to prevent it spreading to the other polyps or torches you have in the tank. I’m by no means an expert but I was given that advice a few years ago by someone that I consider one
