Both of my Aussie gold torches’ tips have tiny hole on them. I took a piece of sample and put it under microscope. See pictures. Does anyone know why and what it is? Please help. My indo torches and sps are doing fine so far. Should I throw away these two aussie torches?

hi,i would def keep qt until more info , #reefsquad
 
I’d lean towards brown jelly disease. Although I’m sure you’d need a higher magnification to verify if it was bacterial or not. I’d treat it with an iodine dip. Using tank water and povidone iodine (can be found in a pharmacy). I usually eye this. Drip enough iodine in so that the water turns orange/brown and dip coral and swirl water around it. Rinse in tank water and place back in. May need to repeat a few days later. (Don’t dip inside the tank - use a separate container)
