Why is my torch coral tissue detaching from the base

I’m looking for some help—I’d like to know what might be causing the tissue to detach from the base. This is the third Torch coral of mine that’s falling apart. My water parameters are good; the SPS in the tank are growing and healthy, and there is no direct return flow hitting the Torch.

You parameters do look fine. Have you had large parameter swings? Are you dosing or doing consistent water changes. Also have proper flow is important. Just a few thoughts

I have the exact same problem

Check your lighting and water parameters. They do well in moderate flow but to much can kill them off. It looks more to me like water swings maybe overdosing or even under dosing. What’s your parameter in MG,CA,ALK and what PH level you running?

Could be brown jelly but it doesn’t look like it. Or a pest. Direct flow on the coral could be the issue but other than those you just really need to stay away from torches!😂

And you need to get some bubble bath coral and treat your tank once a day.
