my euphyllia glabrescens? some are multi tipped some like a horseshoe most are normal, today a section about 1'' long drifted off. it has a tip and the shaft seems closed off, its plump and moving. can this make another coral or is something wrong thanks all. Spite

i had some heads drop off of my torch coral - none of those heads survived. Eventually the whole torch coral died. I suspect very low calcium as a possible reason for it dying. I don't know of anything else that was off when it died.

thanks Anjhof, this coral is only a week in my tank, got it the day it arrived, alot of the heads seem to be splitting and growing extra tips.

thanks Drewpy. only have a six line wrasse in the tank,so i dont think its fish, today the tips seem to be digging into the sand bed so maybe this is asexual breeding??
