    I just noticed in the last couple of days that it SEEMS to me that the greenish tips of my torch coral are disappearing. Im not 100% sure that they are but it seems like there are alot less. Is this normal(not actually disappearing), or is something wrong?

    do you feed yours anything? What type of lighting do you have...torch requires higher amount of lighting then the other euphillia (SP?).

    Sounds like it might be starving....try placing meaty things on its tentacles. I feed mine pieces of krill at least 2x a week and I use additives like coral freenzy and RODS food during the week

    This happened to me once and it turned out it was because my salinity spiked. I completed a water change and it looked normal again about a day later.
