    My torch looked like crap one head was shrunken in and had brown goo coming all out of its mouth. Its not anywhere else on the coral or on the other head. Maybe its pooping I dunno! haven't ever seen it do this before and iv'e had it over a year.

    Do you feed your torch coral? If so, it is probably just taking a crap

    When you feed it, cut the flow off in your tank. use a turkey baster and blow some mysis shrimp on it. It should eat. But it does look like it's relieving itself

    I kill all of my flow when I feed my corals. I keep everything off for about 5 minutes after I feed everything. Just a suggestion
