Got this green torch from an online vendor last month. Seemed to look good until the other day. Part of the skeleton starting to show. A few polyps have some black stuff on the tips. Should I give it an iodine dip?

Torches can be so finicky. Through shipping especially they can get very stressed. I would leave it alone for a while and keep it in lower light lower flow just to allow it to hopefully heal up and adjust.
