Hey guys!
I've had this green tentacled purple tipped torch for about 5 months now. About two months ago, I found out that it came in with flatworms after noticing it looking pretty bad, and I have since treated it with Coral RX a few times killing the initial worms and a few stragglers in the tank that found the coral again (since then I've also been dipping any corals coming into the tank). The coral has been looking ok, but still has rather short, deflated tentacles. It seems like it's going to make it, but it looks pretty sad! I've been feeding the corals brine shrimp once a week, and all but the torch seem to be responding well to it (they all appear super happy and inflated the next day, but the torch appears indifferent). Do you guys have anything that works for your torch coral to spruce it up, or conditions that you've found yours likes? I have other euphyllia in the tank (that can be seen in the pictures) that are doing great, however I know that torches can be a bit more finicky. Any advice on how to rehab this little guy would be really appreciated! Thanks for reading!
Here's an album with some pictures, and more comments!

Glad it's on the mend.
