A pic would be a big help; might be rapid tissue necrosis (RTN) and, if so, it will be difficult to control. Hopefully it is something else.

photo is not easy to take.
tomorrow I will try to take a picture.
but little by little I have the impression that the meat around the crown disappears around the crown. the other torches do better. there the tissue around the crown remains complete

If your other coral are doing fine I would assume it is probably in an area where the flow on that side of the coral is too strong. Try moving it to an area with more random or variable flow and wait awhile to see if it bounces back[emoji106]

today i saw on the torch what it's about. that there are large flatworms on the crown of the torch. Could that have something to do with the tissue disappearing from the crown?
