Most of my torches limp. Start 2 days ago on the one in the first pic. Then today some more exhibiting the same affliction. Last thing i added was a finger leather 4 days ago. No BJD that i can see. All of my torches are affected except for one. All other hammers and frogspawn are ok too.

All 9.7
Ca 440
Temp 79
Po4 .06
Trates 5-10
Moderate light (led) and flow.

It looks like you have tissue necrosis based on the top picture. However, on the other ones, the Torch looks fine. Try moving it to a different location and experiment with light and water flow and see if that makes a difference.
If the one head continues to get worse, break the infected head off and remove it. This way the healthy head won’t become infected.
You can also try target feeding it as a possible solution. A lot of the marine hobby is trial and error, frustration, confusion. Learning from your past mistakes, reading, researching and asking a lot of questions are what it takes to be successful and don’t get your self down or beat yourself up over it.

The other ones in the pics arent fine. Normally they open up real nice and the tentacles are fully opened. Now theyre just limp and hanging over the skeletons.

Idk why this is happening. Didnt do anyhting to the tank and all my params are in range. Water quality is pretty good as my other corals are happy. My only guess is a bacterial infection?
