Can Red Sea coral dipX kill the torch? I got it a couple days ago and I’m already losing 2 heads. My other torch is thriving so not sure why that one is not doing that good

Sometimes it appears as though when in reality it’s just not adjusted yet. May take 3-5 days.

Any dip can kill coral. I prefer iodine dips. Or Reef Primer. Dip X works great for pests but not so much for dying tissue or infection

The torches were full of flatworms that’s why. If they look fine with no visible pest I usually dip them after they got acclimated to the tank.

Every factor that add stress to the torch, be it: dipping, light, flow, water parameters, temp. etc... can kill the torch. Try to figure out what causes the stress and eliminate it.
For sure it was the shipping + the dip. I literally added 3 new torches on that same day that I dipped all of them and within hours they started losing heads…very sad but at least here in Indonesia there’s plenty of them at a very cheap price 😅
