What's happening? Please advise...
So I've had this dragon soul torch for a few months... been battling bropypsis, and cyano outbreaks... my torch was fine until yesterday. I noticed the temp was low 76.4, cause my apex temp probe was off, not sure how, but has been fixed. Is this the end of my torch?

I don’t think tank being 76 degrees will kill that torch. How old is your tank? Sorry to say I think that torch is not going to make a comeback. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can't see a torch going from fine to that in 24 hours. Also 76 degrees more then likely isn't the issue. Tank info and parameters please?

Looks like it had too much algae growing on and around it. Did it get too much light?

I agree that 76 shouldn't be a problem. I keep my torches at 77. If it happened that quickly then leads me to believe something drastic and suddenly changed on your tank. Did someone spray cleaning fluid in the tank, etc..... The tests you want dont give us any answers. Did something fall on it?

I have to agree with what was already said. How fast did the temp drop and what do you normally keep it at? Did you recently add any new euphyllia corals to the tank? Even though the parameters are all in check now, did you have any other significant fluctuations in the tank?

Nitrates are low to me.. Most LPS love to be in the 5-20 range.

I noticed you stated you were batteling bropypsis and cyano, is it possible you had some fluctuating phosphates at that time? In my limited experience lps phosphate fluctuations will mess with the corals symbotic relationship that allow them to there by use photosynthesis in zooplankton for energy. Too much phosphate will start causing recession. When the phosphate is quickly reduced they go in photoshock and need light acclimation. So the coral suffer when phosphate is increased and reduced, if this happens in quick succession you could end with a coral looking like the one you posted. At this point I realize the torch is probably gone but it may be something you'd be interested in looking into if you like LPS. Just a speculation, good luck!
