Help with torch coral pls.

[RPGLaz]

Pls help. What is happening to my torch’s mouth? It was like this this morning but fine yesterday. The torch is fully open expect for a few polyps around its mouth. All water parameters are where they should be.
I fed my corals yesterday some polyp lab booster. All other corals are fine.
PH: 8.4
DKH: 10.1
CAL:470
NO3: 2.5
Salinity: 1.026
Phosphorus 13 ppb

I would dip the coral ASAP to try and prevent whatever it is from spreading.

Pics are blurry when I zoom in. Does it appear to be pooping? Mine looks strange when it poops after I feed it

No it’s not poop for sure. I don’t know what it is I’ll probably dip it just to be safe

Best thing to dip your torches in is Chemi clean. by far and away its very affection at fixing bacteria infections which is what plages torch coral

Oh, thanks. Could you please share some tips for the amount\measurement\duration of ChemiClean dip? Anything to be careful about?

So there are two ways to administer this dip.
1 (recommended )follow the instructions and does the whole tank.(very few if any side effects I’ve ever seen doing this and it’s very safe)


2 dipping in a 1qt container for 30min with 3scoop ( this method is still not as effective as a whole tank treatment because it doesn’t give the antibiotic enough time to work and be absorbed into the coral itself)
