Torch disease???

gmeazy01 · Mar 26, 2021

Hi so my torch was fully open 4 days ago but half its head was on the glass because it was on a frag plug. Didnt realize till i moved my tank. Anyhow i moved it to a rock yesterday but its been acting up? Is this BJD? I will remove it if it is.

please help

Thanks,

G

Torches don’t like changes. Give it time to adjust to its new spot

Even if its brown jelly, if you clean it well with a H2O2 bath and the infection is not bad, it will most likely live. I use a pipette and blow any junk off of it while it's in a 50/50 mix for about a minute and then put it where it is easily monitored

Hey guys thanks for all the responses, i mean it doesnt really hve any sign of bjd. its just retracted this way. But 10 mins ago it sprayed some cloudy white stuff.

He looks fine to me. Just a bit bothered by change in flow if you ask me. Moved all 3 of these euphilia yesterday and they are all reacting differently. Christata on the far left is taking it the hardest while the torch and hammer/frogspawn hybrid are peachy.

Just keep an eye on it for the next 2-3 days and possibly try to feed it something meaty. My christata loves frozen mycis

Thanks, i dipped it and all tentacles seem fine. I guess it was super stressed out that its tentacles were not bubbled up cus of my glass.
