![]() They all recovered in my tank while he carbon dosed and water changed his tuns. He used a fungus killing silicone in his sump that would have been fine if he had let it soak for 24hrs but he hooked it up right away and just about killed all his corals. His 2 GBTA didnt make it and neither did his toadstool.

![]() Ouch. Well water quality should be good (goes without saying). Also I think too much light while it recovers would be pretty bad. A little on the low side is always better than too much especially if it's stressed already.

![]() BTW it is the torch in my display pic... wish it still looked that good
Okay I'll try moving it down, low or medium flow? Also any suppliments? It used to love meaty foods but now I cant get it to eat

![]() I've never had a torch but I'm thinking of my frogspawn. It seems to prefer low - med flow. At least it extends much further under that type of flow and I suspect the torch may be similar.

![]() I like to keep my torch on the ground in a cavern. It doesn't get as much light but sure does grow fast. I wouldn't bother feeding it and just leave it alone until it heals.

![]() Torches and hammers recover slowly. If they get internal tissue damage (the root tissue at the base of the exoskeleton) they can be hard to revive. I speak from experience.
Just a little point of advice too... for the future. If it doesn't come from the ocean, don't put it in the tank. If you need it in your tank, and it doesn't come from the ocean, pay the extra money and buy the overpriced-specialty-made-for-saltwater-aquariums equipment, resins and silicone. I remember seeing a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRh0X..._order&list=UL I would sooner clean my eyes with bleach, before cleaning my fake rockwork with it. No dice. I'll pass. ![]()

![]() Ya if it was my tank I would have. I agree.
Ever since I moved the torch to a cavern its been doing worse, I dont get how to fix this it's not making sense
