lizbeth Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Anthony and I did some trading last week on Thurs. You remember his post about his bubble coral going on a stinging spree? He gave me the purple torch that had been stung. It originally had 4-5 heads on it, 2-3 (not sure) had died very soon after the stinging. When I got it two were still looking ok. Now we are down to one head, the others slimed away during the darkness of night a few days ago.The one remaining was looking very sad yesterday morning but fluffed back up during the day. Last night I left on a 15 watt no all night and today it seems about like it did yesterday. I've been checking water parameters daily and everything is fine. I'm keepinfg the temp at 80-82. All the other corals in the tank seem fine. Is there anything else I can do to help it? Link to comment
jay2k2 Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 add some water conditioner Aqua PLus it helps treat injured fish/corals and is reef SAFE Link to comment
Metznreef Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 maybe try feeding it some phyto plancton or somthing? other opinions? Link to comment

Dave ESPI Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 do a water change. get the dead polution from the other heads out of the water. DONT FEED IT. it needs to conserve energy and repair tissues. Strontinum is important. Just do a water change. best of luck..... If it does die, I have 3 torches..... are the tenticles purple with green tips or green with purple tips? lemme know Im about ready to frag it.:confused: Link to comment
lizbeth Posted July 15, 2002 Author Share Posted July 15, 2002 I did get the dead heads out of the tank as soon as I saw they were going. I' did a small water change on Sat. I'll do another today. The only strontium I have is in Seachem Reef Complete. The calcuim is running at 375. I was going to try the Ref Complete to bring it up but haven't tried it yet. Those chemicals scare me! It's purple with white tips. Here's a picture I just took of what's left of the poor thing. Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 yeah I have that variant, but with green tips. Look at the base where the head mates to the skeleton, can U see any recession up and over the teeth? If u se any really white patches, uts likely a gonner too,,,,.... sorweee.... Link to comment
