Hello so I just finished setting up my new 125 display about 3 months ago. Added the first 2 batch’s of fish along with the News from my old tank along with a few mushrooms and 2 Kenya trees. 2 or 3 weeks ago I went a lotta bit crazy and bought a ton of euphyllia (torches, hammers and frog spawns) they were all dipped in iodine and reef primer along with changing out the frap plus. They all seemed happy until Today i noticed something brown and stringy coming out of 1 of the torch colonies. I few of the brown string things few in the water column, i immediately took the torch out and dipped back into reef primer and iodine plus i ordered some cipro and brightwell Koral recover to treat the tank. (Hopefully should be here by Wednesday). So in the meantime is there anything I can do to help them out? They were all fine yesterday idk what happened. The lights had already turned blue by the time I took the photo

Err in other words, white light pics will help diagnose.
Yeah I know the light was already turning blue it was like 2 hours ago while I was feeling the tank. I tired and took another photo but it also sucked. I was like a brown string mucus coming out of the center of the coral

Still looks like poo. Brown jelly, you'd see polyps flying off, skeleton exposed. And the torch would be just melting.
Example... not my photo

Not that’s not how it looks, mine are all pretty open and puffy. Just had that stringy brown stuff coming out the middle of 1 of the heads

So the torch took a poo. No need to dip the poo. It's part of coral nature too.

You'll be seeing a lot more scares. Lots of lps go poo. Bjd isn't a joke. Pull a questionable coral you think that is infected. Smell questionable coral. If it smells like rotting death, you got bjd.

Except acropora and some softies. They seriously stink.
