    Some of the areas have died off - Is this common if it is going to split??

    Can you take a close up of the "empty" polyps? I think I might see a bit of brown jelly there?

    Oops....we posted at the same time.

    Brown jelly isn't the remains of tentacles.....it's a fungal disease. Remove that frag carefully and snap off that branch.

    Inspect the other polyps as well. Whenever removing a Euphyllia from a tank slowly turn it upside down while still in the water. This will cause the polyps to retract. You should then be able to see if there is any brown jelly in any of the other polyps or "heads".

    LFS that I got torch from said to treat tank with 2 drops of iodine.
    Others have said to do a RO water dip for 3-5 min
