Hello all, I need help here my torch has been doing this the past few days. It stiffs up and retracts it’s tentacles half way. It doesn’t flow in the wave and this is all during the daylight cycle. The perimeters are:
Nitrate 100ppm (salifert)
Nitrite 1ppm (“)
Mag 1120 added mag new number 1320...
My LPS Frogspawn use to be beautiful and extended flowing in the current, it’s now super withdrawn.
Any advice?
Parameters
PH 8.0
nitrite 0
nitrate 1.1ppm
Phosphate INV error (Hanna Instruments: advised it means i’m around 0, phosphates too low for the test to pick up)
ammonia 0
alk 8.4...
Hi all! I’ve been watching this torch today because it looked fine in the am then at about 2pm it looked super whimpy and was releasing a clear mucus with white dots in it. The fish were trying to eat it so after doing a brief web search I decided to turn off the pumps etc and stand guard...

There is no doubt that in this hobby we have an abundance of colors to choose from when it comes to picking corals. With that said, we all know that green is a very prevalent color.
But more and more we hear that everyone avoids the "green corals"
We think they get a bad rap for no reason. If...
Struggling to find a spot where the flow is equally opposite in my tank.
Torch polyps seem to lean towards on side.
I’m concerned that the flow could maybe ‘peel’ the other side of flesh up thus causing bail out.

So recently I have noticed the fleshy part on my euphelia receding and I had chalked it up to it recently splitting. But then tonight I turned on the lights after they normally go off and noticed all these small white dots that move all over it I can't see much other than a moving white oval if...
Hey reefers
I have a 3 gallon pico packed with euphyllia (it is a temporary tank, we are moving to a large waterbox in the next few months).
Now in a tank this small obviously the fluctuations are a struggle, i test nightly and the ato keeps my salinity stable, cal and mag don’t move much...
I have 3 LPS corals currently, and all of them are slowly losing flesh along their sides, but seem to show no ill effects. I JUST received this NY Knicks torch. It acclimated almost immediately and looks awesome, but you can clearly see where the flash has gone up in ONE day. I also have this...
I got this hammer a few months ago. Initially it was nice and fluffy but has since receded pretty harshly. I initially thought that the water might be too dirty so I stepped up the water changes. Then I read last week that they may prefer slightly dirty water and that I was probably throwing the...
I have these two torches that I’ve noticed have some tissue recession, they are both also splitting at the moment. Just wondering if this is normal and I’m over reacting or if I should be taking some sort of action. They are both open and happy when lights are on photos were taken when lights...
Hi looking to sell some of my my corals a lot of acans and euphyllias! A few rainbow acans, two gold hammers each has two heads, orange/blue hammer, toxic green hammer, three head green frogspawn, one head octospawn, three head orange frogspawn, blue/green hammer all branching, and a rainbow...
Around 2 weeks ago my completely healthy large wall hammer as well as one of my three torch corals started a slow decline. I assumed it was water quality due to a the fact my rodi filters were due to be replaced but after replacing them the quality for the corals mentioned only declined. I...
Hello,
I got a frogspawn 2 weeks ago and I observed recently that the tissue near the base is getting white, is it normal? I am worried that maybe it’s a disease, or it’s not happy, or maybe my shrimp is biting it. My parameters are normal.
any help is much appreciated
I'm relatively new to the reefing game and I got my first pair of hammers 4 days ago. One of my hammers is fully opened and looking better than it did in the lfs i got it from. The other one is looking good but not extending nearly as much. Both are sitting in areas that receive roughly 100...
Hi,
Ive been out of the hobby since HS (used to be very active on Reef Aquarium Guide) but recently got back into it and got a waterbox Peninsula 25 for Christmas.
Everything was going great until I moved house and left by aquarium to be looked after by family for a couple months.... when I...
Around this time of year I usually go on a coral haul and I wanted some new torch colonies or single head torches for that matter? As you all know prices on coral have skyrocketed with people dropping $600* per head on some torch corals…I want to know what you all think is reasonable price wise...
