Torch coral

[malcolm seaward]

My torch coral has been doing well for months… then suddenly it’s not fully opening…. We have checked water, water flow and lighting… even food and the other inhabitants which consist of only 2 clown, one gobie and a hermit crab.
We live in Swansea South Wales Uk any advise please ?

Welcome to R2R! Can you post pictures of the coral and post your parameters and lighting. We are happy to help in any way we can :)

I’m thinking Brown Jelly disease.

This is why I don’t like Torches. A lot of the times they just die suddenly

Hello and welcome! Torches can be finicky. As advised, please post photos under white lights and parameters.

Have you seen any slime or "goo" on top of it? Corals will release that sort of thing if stressed.
