They been doing good for months but today something is wrong, one torch has brown film around it and the pink nepthea (koji wada) looks like a wreck, I noticed even some branches are falling off. Below are some photos of them

What is happening to them? Any advise would be good, the Torch I am dipping but afraid to return it to DT

Salinity normal
Calcium 440
Mag 1170
kdH 10-11
pH 8.2-8.4
Ammonia 0

That's normal for the soft coral to drop branches like that. It likes where it's at so it's reproducing. Be sure to pick up the pieces though or you'll have that coral growing everywhere in your tank.

As far as the Torch goes you might want to research Brown Jelly Disease. GL.

But both nepthea are leaned over, branch is falling off literally and looking very sad, is it really just reproducing? Also both trees fell over the same time
