Torch help

[iTread]

Can I try and glue the body back on the skeleton? I tried out a new powerhead for 3 hours 2 days ago and this is the second head that is now dying. Really too bad as this was my favorite Coral.

I don't think gluing it will do any good once bailed out of the skeleton.

+1. I had one with partial bailout. Tried to glue it and very quickly looked to have brown jelly so yanked it

Ouch, ya would have to say it's gone. Torch and hammer don't need a ton of flow u know!! [emoji3] would focus on trying to save the remaining portion.

Yep...it's done...still hard to believe that 3 hrs of too much flow caused this. Completely indirect flow too. All the polyps are in a shot glass resting on rubble...we'll see

My torches seem to like more flow than my other euphyllias

I'm pretty sure what happened to mine was accidental death by urchin. I've seen my urchin trying to munch coraline on another torch coral. When he was through there was a nice chunk of skeleton missing. My torch that had the bailout definitely had some missing skeleton where it happened
