I have a torch coral with about six heads and one of the heads is falling off. What could be causeing this. There seems to be no brown jelly. Some else told me it could be breeding. Any help would be great.

Polyp bailout. All of your heads look like they are receding. That coral does not like your water quality. Most likely you are lacking some sort of element. I find most likely Strontium or Magnesium can cause this. Test you water levels and act fast or you will loose all the heads.

I did test and alk was 80ppm. I am raising it now will this save the ones that r peeling off or should i watch for them to fall and remove them from the tank?
