Torch coral problem

[reefboy55]

So part of my torch coral seems to be dieing off and idk why. Does anyone else know or if it will come back to life?

Could be many reasons but currently im having an issue with my torch doing the same things. Looking closer at mine leads me to believe its white bugs. They're tiny white dots that move around and effect lps mostly. It causes the lps to stay retracted and cause eventual die off. Just a possibility, hope thats not it.

Is there any thing you can do to get rid of them because I looked for the white dots you were talking about and I have them to

maybe it got stung from another coral?

This may sounds silly but could the "white dots" be possibly pods?

 

[reefboy55]

I don't think so there really small white dots and I dn't have any other corals around that could sting it

The pet heart worm medication interceptor kills them but you can only get that through a vet. Ive also heard of an insecticide by bayer i think that works. its something you could get at lowes but i'd research it some more.
