Torch Coral not good

[reefjonny]

Need assistance with this coral....it has two heads and one seems to be dying off. I had an issue a while with a torch and am wondering if it is related to feeding "reef roids?" Any feed back on what's occurring will be well appreciated. Hoping it's going through a natural process and not dying off but certainly looks as though it is.

brown jelly disease, remove the infected piece immediately…
turn return and powerheads off before removing.

gonna need to run cipro if you do have other lps…

Consider putting a Ziploc bag over it In the water and closing it to not let any of the goo float off when removing.

It's a bacterial infection that exists in most systems, but when a coral is irritated, stressed, or unhealthy, and its immune system goes down, the bacteria takes over.
