Aussie Gold Torch Dying

unfortunately the torch passed today and the store said they would give us another one. All other Cora wis doing well so I believe the death wasn’t our fault I believe it was just an unhealthy piece.
 
I’ll try and get a pic in but it won’t be the best since the lights are off

Any chance you saw little worm like things that look like this pic? I just lost an aussie gold torch the other day. The first two heads start to die off. Dipped it multiple times. Got dead tissue off. Snails started to clean it. Last day I saw little worm like things like in that pic. At that point the torch stunk like hell and I tossed it.

I have a very mature 10 y/o tank with perfect parameters. I have never been able to keep brain or scolis. They bleach 2 days into the transfer and are dead within a week. Some systems just dont work for some species.

Hey DVP95, I had a similar thing happen to a gold torch that i had. Got it with 1 head and it became 3 heads over a year. The heads were not fully separated. I added a biota aptasia file fish to handle some aptasia, and it some stage it started eating the mouths of my torches. Firstly i lost a green torch then started to see this gold torch loosing its heads. Caught the file fish red handed and took it out. Took out the coral and dipped it in Lugols (iodine). Put it back in and i saw the other head starting to separate. Had the same worm like things, and then that head was gone. Only 1 head left. I took the coral out and it stank. Basically i found out that these are symptoms of Brown Jelly Disease (BJD), its been documented well on R2R by people. So i lost a beautiful Torch. I think the file fish injured and stressed the coral and it got BJD. Lost everything within a couple of days :-(. I then made sure that nothing was left in the tank from the old torch as BJD can be contagious. Also just ran chemiclean as the anti-biotic in it would kill bacteria. So far, not had any other torches have it, and then had to buy another gold torch at way more then what i paid for the original!
