Torch coral

Hi guys..
Any idea what's going on with purple torch?
Shall I take it out or keep in tank ?
Thank you

Looks like u got a case of brown slime. Take it out if the tank or else it can spread to all other euphyllia.

I agree with brown jelly slime. Unfortunately it can spread to other corals too.

My LFS said give it fresh water dip.. what u guys say ?

It can work however it's a harsh dip for an already stressed coral. If you have no quarantine for it then I'd say take your chances and try it although if yiu do have quarantine I would suggest putting it in there and try iodine dipping. I've never tried it on torches for brown jelly hover it has worked a treat on other corals for various bacterial and healing problems

I'm no expert but yesterday I gave it fresh water dip for a minute and carefully brushed the brown jelly, today things are looking much better then before.. and has u said torch coral is in quarantine tank now
