Torch Not Looking Good...

We got a torch last Saturday and it was doing fine up until yesterday when it started pulling in. This morning it is pulled in so far the tissue isn't visible at all and is secreting a white mucus. Other corals are fine, including frogspawn. Checked ammonia and nitrite yesterday; nitrite was 0, ammonia indicated slightly but no where near the lowest indicator at .025 ppm. All other parameters are as follows as of Friday:
Alk: 3.31
Cal: 440
Mag: 1320
SG: 1.025
Temp: 79-81
pH: 8.18
Out of Nitrate test reagent, so not too sure about most recent readings, but was at 5 a few wks ago. Only changes recently were started dosing DT's and relocated new brain (not in a location to interfere with torch, couple feet away...)
Thanks,
Gator

I don't think so, it is almost 6 or 7 inches away from the frogspawn. And they can't touch each other... Besides, from what I here, the euphylia shouldn't be a problem to eachother. The only thing that is within reach, which shouldn't be a problem is xenia.

Is there any way the xenia could be bothering it? It still is well within the skeleton, there is no tissue visible at all...all the mucus is gone now.
