Torch turned white

I don't think that brown jelly. I've had it before and I kinda looks like cyano on the bottom side of each head.

I feel like something else is wrong here. Have you changed flow lately? Just stabbing in the dark
 
A quick update. I dipped the coral Thursday night and changed its location to a better flow area. The coral is inflating good and looks OK, but still white.

The good thing is that no signs of tissue loss yet. We'll see what happens.

Thank you all for all your feedback and suggestions.
 
Update: I moved the coral to a different/better flow location and it looks to be doing better. The picture below is from today. At least the coral is inflating a bit better and it looks like it may recover.

Would be cool if there was a torch that was supposed to be this color!

I have a wild Aussie white tabling acro. Straight up albino white, no bleaching. I call it "Frozen". :) It's been a slow grower though. I'd love to get this thing spreading around in some tanks to insure it remains available. It's definitely one of my most unique pieces. I hope with the ca rx on my upgrade the added stability will get it to take off.

Webmanny, glad to hear it's recovering.

Torch turned white



Polyp extension wasn't very good at the time of this pic. iPhone camera doesn't help and it's growing forward which doesn't help. Also, you can see where the line of tissue and algae meet. This was from a batch of Red Sea Coral Pro mixing up at 14 dkh. Needless to say I no longer use RSCP, switched to Reef Crystals and will use filtered natural sea water on the upgrade. Fortunately the stn stopped on everything once I switched and for the most part has healed. No losses. Pic was taken under whites only.

Also I have a white alveopora. Again, everything in the tank had poor PE at the time I took these for this thread. I'll have to break out the DSLR when everything is opened up. Under actinic lights the acro glows white. Pretty cool.

Thanks. The alveopora pic was taken with actinics so it reflects a little blue.

I've had it for about a year and it had about 5 polyps. Now there's probably 50. I'll try to get a better pic of the whole colony. There's a torch in front of it so I could only take a pic of the edge. Medium-low light. Medium flow. Has been relatively bullet proof for me.

I do find it strange to have white corals that I've never fed. Perhaps the white tissue masks the zooxanthella. Almost like and opaque window. Weird.
