My torch coral has really gone down hill in the past couple months. Any suggestions? My bulbs were getting pretty old, and They were changed the middle of March through the middle of April.

When did you get it? Do you have PC lights and has it been a steady decline since you got it?
My LPS did that under PCs. Put them under T5s or halides and they bounced right back.

I got it maybe around November. Don't have PC lighting. 4 bulb TEK fixture on a 75

But yours was directly related to your lighting? My t5 bulbs were at about 15 months. Maybe it'll turn about with the new bulbs

It's probably the lighting. My huge frogspawn took a hard hit (the top half bleached and started dying) when I switched out my halide bulbs the last time. Just move it down farther if you can.
