A lot of my LPS was killed, and everything that was still alive I had to throw into a 10 gallon coral quarantine tank.

    Can someone help me figure out what’s wrong with my torch

    I’ve had this torch coral for about 4 months now and recently has been looking like this. It looks like the head of the torch is showing and it’s almost pushing itself out to show its head rather than the thick tentacles covering it. My two other torches are doing just fine and have thick...

    I need urgent help regarding torch corals.

    One of my torch corals arrived dead, and its tentacles flew into my wavemaker, converted into many places, and landed all over my tank. Some land on my other corals. Do I have to water change? Is it dangerous? or will it be fine and not harmful to my other corals? Please help

    Torch coral care

    Is this torch got enough flow? I have never had an indo. My Aussie does fine in low flow. I can’t get a small enough wave maker to get a random flow pattern going in my tank so it’s just flowing using the powerhead. Pics and videos are from when I got it to this morning. It’s opening up well...

    What’s going on with my torch
