I stumbled upon a video where a torch was swollen like mine - he said his head is splitting. Now I took a look at mine, and I would guess there are 2 mouths? I tried to fumble & get to see if there is a second one, no success. Now I fed it and I'd say there might be a second mouth!!
The skeleton looks like 2 heads, but I know they are not. I bought it as one big head. Take a look! and yes I am desperatly trying to be optimistic :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Update:
Since I added phytoplankton and copepods it looks like the color got better, more intense. Today I dipped her, as I got into temptation to buy another one and didn't want a bacterial infection also get into a new torch.

One minute after dipping, as I can finally do pictures of the base. I dipped AquaForest Protect Dip for 5minutes, then rinsed and put it back to it's former place. There is some white stuff, I tried to blast it off, but I can't. Anybody got some tips? In my unexperiences eye it looks like it is some sort of illness?

I'm not seeing what your seeing.
Let it heal, looks good. No more dips unless it nose dives.

Assure calcium is no less than 380-400. Its a must for their skeletal health and yours shows possible deficiency
