Hi guys

One of my torches has a big bubble out of its mouth- looks like it has inverted its stomach. No mesenteric filaments just a big, double lobed smooth bubble. About the size of a nickel

I’ve tried feeding it some meaty stuff but it just popped back out like 2 hours later

Any ideas for Fixing it? Cheers
 
Lots of people say they see this when their torch head is splitting. I have yet to see it with mine though
 
Thanks

it must be one of those ‘maybe/sometimes’ things. I didn’t see this when the original head split into 2, plus he’s been doing it for like 3 weeks I think at this point.
He still inflates, waves around, retracts at night. Seems to be doing ok.
I think I’ll leave him be and see what happens.
