I've had a new torch coral in my tank for two or three weeks. It's actually three small heads fused together.
This morning I noticed that the plolyps on the edge of one head are gone. It could be that they've retracted really far, but it looks bone-bare. And they haven't been out all day.
The torch is on the sand (its on a large mount/disk). I have some other healthy frogspawns in the tank, but they are at least 10 inches away and higher up, so I dobut that another coral is attacking it. I have a firefish, a medium-sized peppermint shrimp, and emerald crab and several small-to-medium hermits.
My tank is about three months old, 30 gallons with about 30 lbs of live rock. Parameters are all within range. I feed mysis shrimp daily, mostly for the fish, and a few drops of phyto several times a week.
I don't know if it it has anything to do with it, but there are some small, white, empty (worm?) tubes on the sand nearby. But they could have just collected there from the current.
Any tips/suggestions?
