I lost my bubble tip to a powerhead about a week ago and I think that the toxins have gotten to my Torch Coral. A did a water change after the Bubble Tip died but I noticed a few things just were not right with my Torch and another unknown coral.
I'm in the process of a much bigger water change and have removed my Torch temporarily to a bag with new saltwater and am floating it with some DT's.Until I figure out what to do. It has withdrawn completely into the calicium shell/skeleton. I am worried that if i put it back in the tank it will die if it isn't dead already and release more toxins. I don't see movement at all in the tentacles and it has been this way for about 36 hrs. And my hospital tank filter is still cycling.
Any ideas what I can do with the torch or how long it can float in a bag. How do you know when they are dead and not just unhappy?
75 gallon
ammonia, nitrite 0
nitrate around 5 ppm
phosphate 5 ppm I have some phosguard in now
ph 8.3
salinity 1.023
78 degrees
