Is my torch dead?

Is this torch dead? 3 of the heads died off and These two heads are the only ones left. The head on the back has slowly started looking worse and worse. So is it to far gone?

I've had them all the way back in the skeleton and come back. This big gold one case study.

What are your parameters. History of the coral and tank.

Something is likely off...but not necessarily.

Not gone but heading that way. What did the other heads look like before they died? Was there brown gunk on the heads? You need to identify the cause, water parameters, lighting or infection. Try an iodine dip.

I’ll need to test everything again. I just had an ATI test done. Major elements and everything was good. Nitrate was 0 it was recommending around 2.0 for nitrate. Minor elements was low especially iodine. I have been doing the Red Sea recommended additives found on their website for the past week. Everything else seems to be doing good. I have a bubble tip and it’s blown up looking happy.

The others ones just slowly started breaking off. I didn’t notice anything on there but I also was not to vigilant during that time.
