Torch flesh turning purple

[Matthew Meyer]

Torch flesh turning purple on my large colony. Lost one head already. Dosed chemiclean. Any ideas? Parameters are stable.

Could be brown jelly disease. Turn on white light for a certain diagnosis, but it sounds a lot like it.

KFC dip if you can, or do chemiclean dip with a more concentrated dip. Best of luck, but if it is truly BJD I would do something NOW before it spreads and nukes the rest of your torches

I'd just frag it up as much as you can and skip the antibiotics.

And spread out the frags maybe?

Anyone know who has the band saw?

It's very noticable on those pictures, if you can't get band saw quick enough, you could possible just snip them at the base of the branches and clean them up later. They have alot of sepration between them looks like it would be easy to do. Another grab option is get a cheap dremel tool with a diamond cut off wheel. Harbor freight would be the cheapest or and other hardware store.

A Hack saw blade and little patience would also work.

I wouldn't wait to long and risk having it spread more.

Barcode always knows who has all of them

Looks like the emerald crab was snacking on that dying polyp.

This coral is still going strong. I think we need a differential diagnosis. Looks like its going to start splitting and growing again.

Started dosing Restore and the torches are looking quite strong.

Haven’t heard of it. What’s it supposed to be/do?

To clarify Derek’s response, it claims to “restor” lost coral tissue (it seems to be epa + dha + aminos) lol
