MERKEY Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 this torch came from golden basket and Im trting to get a hold of them but my messages seem to only send 3 pics at a time so I'm hoping to add to them here. Torch came in this morning and was shipped with no heat pack and temped at 62deg. It looks like its dead or dying and I'm keeping my fingers crossed it can make it. I can only load 3 pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazyreefer Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I have seen a lot of torches look this way in shipment and then get them in the tank and they are fine. As for the water temperature I am sure it is so hard predicting wether to put a heat pack or not in this crazy Oregon weather 62 is definitely very low but it still has a chance, good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the optimistic point of view and I am also leaning that way! As we all know things happen and this is by no means an attack on Rudy and I hope it doesn't come off like that... but it just sucks for us all....I hope it does come back...60deg is cold for corals 🥶....my optomistic fingers crossed! Rudy is a great guy and this is part of the hobby. Edited July 1, 2020 by MERKEY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenbasketreef Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Just follow the acclimation sheet in the package. Let it settle down for a few days and let me know the progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What_The_Frag Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 There appears to be plenty of tissue around the outside rim of the skeleton, acclimate it following Rudy's suggestion and you should be completely fine. Overall, that looks like a very healthy torch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERKEY Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Thanks for the support guys. It opened up and is alive which I'm very happy about that. Here it is opened....looks a little different than the pic but I'm sure rudy will help me dial the lights in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
