Torch dying
All of a sudden one of my torch corals is dying. I've had it for months and it was doing great but over the last week or so its been not looking great and now it is starting to look bad.
I have another torch and hammer and they all look ok.

Did anything in the tank change? Some corals are more temperamental with slight shifts than others.
I would personally take it out for an iodine dip in what ever solution you use. I've lost some lps unexpectedly to brown jelly and it happened similar to your description. Supposedly the protozoan can live dormant for months and then just take you by surprise. Not saying this is the issue but maybe look into brow jelly a bit. Fair warning though, noone seems to know anything for sure on brown jelly it's mostly speculation ime. Good luck, hopefully it's just annoyed. Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk |

Are there any other corals near the torch? Such as a bubble coral?
What are your params? Yeah, I also agree, dip it, it can't hurt. Also keep it away from other Euphyilla, just incase it is brown jelly. I wish you the best of luck. |

My torch did this due to poor lighting. I moved him to a less direct light spot and he's doing good now.
