GOLDEN TORCH DYING, NEED HELP FAST!!!

[BlackZebrasoma]

So i got this Golden Torch about 2 Weeks ago, and today it suddenly started releasing tissue on the sides. What could the reason be?

Water, lighting and flow are the usual suspects.

 

[Andresnyc93]

We need more information, tank parameters lighting schedule and intensity and how much flow are they getting

Ca 380 Mg 1200 Phos 0,08 Nitrate 6 Kh 8,5 PH 8,2

Mine did this at first but it acclimated and went back to normal . I wouldn’t say lights because you seem to have it low.

flow or water parameters

 

[radreef02]

Phos is a little high imo, calcium would be better near 400-450. How was the flow where it was at ?

How old is the tank, can we also see a full tank short

 

[BlackZebrasoma]

Looks like it has given up…

 

[Andresnyc93]

Calcium’s a little low, try to keep it at 400-420, Mag could be higher too 1300.
did you dip the coral? How was your acclimation process? How old is the system? Is there other euphyllia in the tank?

7-8 years old

Do you have some lugol’s dip? Usually iodine helps tremendously when euphyllia are starting to look like this. If you have other corals and they’re doing fine I suspect this coral might have a hitchhiker irritating them.

This is what i have

It was medium flow

This doesn’t have iodine. I would try to get your hands on a iodine only dip because I’ve gone through this several times and 9/10 times the dip had brought back the euphyllia and helps the receding tissue/polyps

I have this, if i mix it with the coral RX, do you think it Will work?

I left mine it was that bad and it’s coming back

 

[Andresnyc93]

Not familiar with that stuff so I can’t say. I usually use the Kent marine or Brightwell

 

[BlackZebrasoma]

Well, i put it in a mixture of Coral RX and Iodine and just hope that it will get better
