Here's a quick video of the torch.
This was full and in total glory 3 days ago and now this. Torch was in the tank one year. Alk Calc Mag PH Temp all stable for over two months. PO NO stable for the last month. I iodine dipped it this morning but think it was already too far gone. Complete rapid tissue necrosis in less than 48 hours. What gives ?
 
Have you had any recent additions of LPS? Or something that may have stressed it out like a temp swing or something?
Tank is 210 gallons nothing is within 6 inches of it. Temp is always 78-79
 
Your guess is as good as mine :( I have had torches look great and double in size over the span of months then just catch BJD and be gone in a few days. If you take it out of the tank with the pumps off and it's nothing but brown slimy muck and smells terrible then it is BJD. Can wipe out Euphyllia within days so try not to let the slimy stuff come off when removing the skeleton.

I keep cipro on hand now just in case.

Had zero smell and no brown slimy stuff.
 
It looks like it was stung or got into a fight. Whats near it? At night the sweepers can get extremely long. Thats kinda the same efect i get when a frag falls into another frag over night. Hermits and snails are usually to blame.
