Hey all,
I’ve been following R2R for awhile but this first time posting, I recently got a new Torch frag, about 4 days ago, it hasn’t seemed to want to fully open yet, but this morning I noticed a black spot on the base of the torch, is this necrosis or something growing on it? Dipped with seachem and acclimated for one hour before introducing to tank, I also have a few zoas, frogspawn, hammer and gonis and they’re all doing great, I’m just not sure what that black thing is on the base, could that be why it hasn’t fully opened yet? I messed with different lighting and flow but no luck yet. Thank you!
water parameters:
Alk- 9.6
Cal- 460
Mag- 1440
Salinity- 1.026
Temp 79 degrees
