Torch dying or already gone!

JeanneA · Jan 1, 2016

Hi all. First post. Woke up this AM to our beautiful torch ... Looking like this. I isolated it out of the tank. What are the flat clear flat pods that have appeared? 3 days ago some other corals fell that I went it to deal with and the torch then fell and popped off the disc it was attached to. I may have wedged it in the rock to low... No idea really :( Now this . Any ideas would be appreciated. 90 gal corner tank.
Tried to isolate all the slime by taking it our if tank with a plastic bag...but missed alot...and when we turned the pump off got some more stuff floating around. All cleared out now.

I can't see any flat clear pods, as you say, but if you see them, they are Flat Worms

Thank you. Feel better I didn't cause it... Maybe just aggravated it enough to kill the coral though.

I don't get what you mean by slime I guess, can you describe it better? I wouldn't think that flatworms could do this, and that euphilia is toast. Google brown jelly disease and see if this is what you saw.
